World War Two / WW2 Letter
« on: Thursday 20 July 23 22:54 BST (UK) »
I have found a letter written to my get uncle in 1940 from a friend who he trained with during 1939.
It is signed W K Baker 626613
No11 Group RAF.
I wish to know the full name of this solider in a hope to find any ancestors who might like a copy.
If anyone can advise me of what they believe to be his name that would help get me going in the right direction.
Many Thanks

World War Two / Explaining Records
« on: Wednesday 11 November 20 20:03 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Wonder if someone can point me in the right direction.
I have a copy of my grandads ww2 records. For my day I want the details placed in some kind of journal/book which would explain which particular battles he fought in. What units etc he was. I kind of timeline of events. Is there a service I can pay someone to do this does anyone know or had something similar done themselves?
Thanks Olie

Hi Rick
Thanks for the pdf. I haven’t researched any of the siblings of Anne so thanks for this. I’ll save it.
Sarah Green 1811-1881 was born in Skelmanthorpe, Yorkshire. They married 1829.
Are you on ancestry? My tree is public on there and shows the Dixon family. I have got as far as a Henry Dixon which was Johns grt grandfather.
If not I’ll screen shot it from my phone and email you it along with John Dixon’s gravestone. He lived quite long 93 years which 100 years ago would have been quite rare I expect.

Hi Rick
Good to hear from you! 7 years since the post, time flies!
Right, we must be distantly related then. I have John Dixon 1808-1901 as my 4 grt grandfather.
I have him marrying a Sarah Green and they went on to have quite a lot of children including William and George Henry. My grt x 3 gran was Ann, sister to those 2. She became a Buckley before either divorcing (which I doubt) or becoming a bigamist and marrying a James Hallas. She was the landlady at the George and Dragon in Charleworth if you know it? That’s where my Dixon’s end.
I think from doing research I have them originating from the Leigh area of Manchester. West of Manchester anyway. Do you have the same?
I managed to find John Dixon’s headstone and burial plot up at Glossop Cemetery. I have a picture of it that your welcome to have if you don’t already have it?
Anyway I’ll wait to hear.
Olie
p.s I still haven’t found out what happened to my John Buckley
