Hello,
Sorry I'm not located in the UK and my grandfather is now deceased so I can't give you much advice - but there are plenty of brilliant people on here who may be able to help you
My Grandfather was caught in the Norwegian Campaign near the start of the war.
I have found a few interesting pages on my search including; http://www.wfrmuseum.org.uk/sf_museum.htm
From the searches on the name you gave it looks like he was in Lamsdorf (although my Grandfather was in a few camps so yours may have been, too).
If you are in the UK the best place for records & information is The National Archives in Kew.
Good luck!!

Great thank you - I will order the certificate and see what it says.
Thanks for the help - I'm a bit lost with all this searching - especially with this side of the family!

Staffordshire / Thomas & Lucy Jenks?
« on: Wednesday 28 July 10 10:48 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to confirm a Thomas Jenks (1809 - 1889 approx, born and died in Staffordshire) and his wife Lucy (1811 - 1889 approx. and their children should be;
Mary Ann Jenks
William Thomas Jenks
Edward Jenks
Thomas Jenks
Lucy Jenks
Arthur Jenks
John Jenks
(I cannot be sure of all of these details, but from the notes I have they seem accurate)
I believe Thomas Jenks (1809 -1889 approx) Dad was also Thomas Jenks - and his Grandfather was Thomas Jenks but I have no other details. At some point, from what I have been told, I believe this line is Flemish (but I have no proof or further details).
I do have access to ancestry.com and I'm happy to buy documents, etc. but I'm struggling to find any ancestors for this family group .... can anyone offer any leads to Thomas or his wife Lucy please??
Thank you!
