Hi hoping someone can help me I am looking for RAF records on a Frederick Herbert born 1900 Islington.
I think too young for WW1 not sure about WW2 so dont really know how to go about searching.
His father was Richard James Hebert.
Thank you
-
How do you know he was in the RAF?
See www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=651361.0

He was my great uncle there was a phot of him in uniform many years ago.

1905 Qsep ISLINGTON 1B 155 FREDERICK EDMUND HERBERT mmn POYNTER
ie Parents = Richard & Martha
Where does the family detail come from?

The Frederick Herbert referred to in opening post was born 1900 Islington
Per freebmd Frederick Herbert June qtr 1900 Islington 1b 388
-
As posted earlier (reply #4) = Father's name Harry Herbert and not as per original post
-
Family "alluded" to (?)
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01msr/ (http://www.rootschat.com/links/01msr/)
The Frederick, son of Richard, would appear to have been born "1905"
as per replies #4 and #7 (?)
I am still asking where I've gone wrong?
:)
-
The poster is asking for advice re: RAF records and does not appear to be asking for the ancestry of his Gt uncle at this stage
If the 1900 birth is the correct one - his mmn was Harmon and therefore links to the Harry Herbert/Louisa Harmon marriage - details of which you posted earlier
-
In order not to waste time/effort looking for people with "invalid" detail, I attempted to verify the start point.
That's all. ( I don't see anything wrong with that )
Typo? Speeling? :) DoB? (Anything could be wrong.)
Original post = "His father was Richard James Hebert." ( not Harry )
As you have now said . . . . . "If the 1900 is the correct one ", then father cannot be Richard
Either the Father is incorrect or the DoB is incorrect . . . . .
maybe putting this one (back) in the frame

Frederick Herbert (father Richard James) was the brother of my grandmother Marion Ada Herbert.Just wanted advice on RAF info.
But thank you all
-
Poynter was his mother.

If his mothers maiden name was Poynter then he was not born 1900 as per your opening post. He was Frederick Edmund Herbert born 1905 as per Ray’s reply at #6
You are looking for RAF records that are not available online. See link given in my first reply
In 1939 he was living in Lewisham and was not at that time in the RAF so may have enlisted during WW2
-
Thank you for this info I thought he may of been to old for WW2 but will definitely check.
-
So, for completion, this is the gentleman . . . . .
1973 Jun Bedford 4a 156 Frederick Edmund Herbert (25 JE 1905 )
( from FreeBMD.org.uk )

Frederick appears on registers/rolls from 1934 onwards ( with your grandmother and others )
There is a clue to his possible RAF career.
Due to Rootschat Copyright Rules re 1939 Register, I cannot post the detail here.
You'll need to look it up yourself ?
