World War Two / My Grandad
« on: Sunday 17 June 12 06:56 BST (UK) »
Morning everyone, I wonder if anyone could help me. I never got to meet my grandad due to him moving away when he divorced my nan.
Ive found out that he was a POW in WW2. Find my past have the following details.
Frederick Reginald Wooding, Private, The Wiltshire Regiment.
Army number 5572396, Camp number 344, POW no. 21665,
Camp Type Stalag, Camp location Lamsforf
He was a POW between 1939 and 1945. What I can't find out is how, when and why he became a POW and when and where he was released.
Ive tried the National Archives but with no joy.
Am really hoping someone could please help me as I am stuck

Hi, Ive just started trying to trace my family tree. My great grand father was William Bethel. He originally came from Gibraltor. Would anyone know how I could find out why he ended up in Gillingham, Kent.
Thank you.
Thank you.

sorry to be so thick but where do I e-mail for the local studies library. On the death index the district is down as St George in the east. All other info says he died at 20 Albert Place, Newington Causeway (Elephant & Castle) Southwark, Surrey, England.
Who would I need to contact do you think?

Good thinking. Register of the birth was done on 27th August. 10 days after Heinrich died. Thank you. Poor women. Bad enough having to give birth let alone your hubbie killing himself. Drastic!!
