Hi there, my Grand uncle Thomas Livesey born 29 December 1908 in Blackburn,Lancashire.
Parents are James Livesey and Elizabeth Ann Leeming. I can find him on the 1911 and 1921 census and also traced him to the Naval college in Devonport in 1928. Then I cannot find any trace of him from thereon, however there is a possible sighting of him in 1943 and 1945 on various ships (possibly naval or cargo) .
Can anybody help please, I have searched Ancestry in other countries but to no avail.
Many thanks.
Tina
No one in the family remembers this person but my one aunt who thinks he may have been killed in a motorcykle accident before 1965 but is not sure if it is the correct person.

He served in the Royal Navy until 1952. You can download his record free of charge from the National Archives.

Thank you for all the help, the death in Ulverston is a possibility if I can confirm a marriage, the naval records were very interesting and sadly the legal notice of 1989 is not my Thomas.

Annie Livesey b. 20 September 1914 Blackburn
Parents - James Livesey and Elizabeth Ann Leeming.
I am trying desperately to find a marriage for her but there are so many choices, she may have had a child called Tom and lived in the Blackburn area.

Cross referencing 1930s Blackburn marriages with 1939 register entries for Annies in Blackburn born 20/9/1914:
She's there as Annie Craig with William Craig.
Annie Livesey married William Craig in 1935.
She later changed her name to Hornby (remarried?)
-
Possible second marriage for Annie in Darwen in 1946, to Isaac J Hornby.

Thank you so much, it really has helped :)
