Family History Beginners Board / Re: Zillah Constance Gilbert

Thanks Boo. I hadn't noticed that there was a second page. Navy records are often difficult to read but I'm sure you're right. (Cecil married his brother's widow in 1942 and his family moved to her family farm near Bristol. Died 1955). Sadly his 90 year old daughter has dementia, just wish I'd asked her more about her dad years ago.  Thanks for your help.

Thank you very much for this information. It seems very likely that Zillah was visiting Cecil in Rosyth. I've looked back at Cecil's service records. He enlisted with the RN in 1917 and served until 31 Aug 1940, (receiving the Long Service Award and Good Conduct Medal in 1935 when he was Stoker Petty Officer on HMS Cormorant).

Thank very much for all your help. Zillah's maiden name was Treadwell, born 23 Jan 1902. I hadn't expected to find her in Scotland, or that her maiden name would also be recorded. I can't find a record on Ancestry though.

I am unable to find an obituary, death record, or probate information for Zillah Constance Gilbert, born in 1902 in Swansea. Last known to be at 18 Gloucester Road, Plymouth (1939 Register). She died before 1942 when her husband Cecil Benjamin Gilbert remarried. Can you help please?

John Harrison Outram (1911-1999) married Joyce Rosalie Surr (1920-2022), a nursing sister around 1950/51. It seems likely that they were married in Nigeria. Can you find a marriage record please?

South Africa / Marriage of Dorothy and Sidney

Dorothy Mary Outram (aka Mary Dorothy) (1909-1981) married Sidney William Belchamber (a widower) (1890-1968) between 1952 and 1957. It seems likely they were married in South Africa. Can you help find a marriage record please?
