Down / Re: John James Williams
« on: Monday 19 May 25 21:22 BST (UK) »
Thank you for the replies all, very interesting. Jon James Williams was a miner in the Albion Colliery, Cilfynydd, Pontypridd and originally signed up in 1934(territorial army?). He was a drummer in the Welsh Regiment, he was captured in Evracy, Normandy on the 21st July, 1944 and was a POW in Stalag VIII - B, Cieszyn, Poland. he had 6 brothers presumably then only 3 were old enough to fight in the war. So are we saying he was probably married to a Mary(Minnie) McCulloch then, do I have that right?

World War Two / R A F occupation Northern Ireland
« on: Saturday 26 April 25 19:14 BST (UK) »
Hi there all, just acquired some information of my grand uncles occupation in 1942. Brinley Parker of Pontypridd, South Wales is , according to information I have, employed in 1942 in Northern Ireland. His rank or Profession is written down has (or should I say, looks like) Aircraftman in R.A.F. (1406664) (machinist). Does any of you good people know what this means, what the number stands for etc and possibly a R.A.F. location in Northern Ireland in 1942? Any help would be very much appreciated. Many Thanks

Hi all, thank you all, Carole W, Cas and Ladyhawk, for your help and research, the information you have supplied looks very much like the correct line to follow, but I agree, obtaining a marriage certificate would be the correct way forward to confirm your findings. Again , thank you for replying and helping out. Many kind regards, Daiwalker

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Arthur Edward Brown - Parents?
« on: Monday 03 March 25 21:55 GMT (UK) »
Hello all, I'm struggling to find my wife's great, great grandfathers parent's. So the information I already have: Arthur Edward Brown was born in abt 1886 in Wiltshire or Somerset. He married May (or could be Mabel) Selway (b 1884 Cardiff) they had three children; Arthur Brinley Brown (1910 - 1917), Veronica Daisy Brown (1911 - 1997, my wife's fathers mother) and Dorothy Selway Brown (1913 - ?) I did find a birth record for a Arthur Edward Brown, born 1886 in Clutton, Somerset with his mothers maiden name of Wiltshire but I'm unsure if this is correct. Any help in this matter would be gratefully received . Kind Regards
