Australia / Occupation: Rtd
« on: Friday 30 December 22 05:33 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone know what this abbreviation stands for? According to other records, this person was a chartered accountant. The abbreviation Rtd is mentioned as an occupation on his probate record.

Hi raonull4, According to WikiData HHM is "helicopter marine medium" but I question whether a general labourer from Derbyshire would be in the US Marines. Never say never....

Hi Shaun, Your information re 29 September 1939 census is correct. The family lived at 122 Francis Street, Derby, Derbyshire, England (General labourer 22 with parents William cattle docks foreman 64 and Elizabeth 60, brother Eric HVG driver 32, Reginald W joiner 24). Leslie Dence married Ivy Beatrice Everett on 14 April 1941 in Derby, Derbyshire, England. The marriage entry has been indexed only.

Somebody has rightfully pointed out that the 11 is not in the original text. My mistake. Still pondering over the abbreviation though...

My mistake. Thanks for pointing it out. Still H.H.M. is a mystery ;-) Christine

World War Two / Military Abbreviation?
« on: Saturday 28 May 22 09:01 BST (UK) »
Sourced in the Derby Evening Telegraph dated July 1942. "On July 27, at 2 Arkwright Street, to Ivy (nee Everett), the wife of Leslie Dence, of 11 H.H.M. the welcome gift of a son. Does anyone know what H.H.M. means? Any tips welcome. Thank you.

Thank you for your replies. I have the entire article and it definitely states "On July 27, at 2 Arkwright Street, to Ivy (nee Everett), the wife of Leslie Dence, of 11 H.H.M." At 2 Arkwright Street suggests a home birth so something military related does make sense. Unfortunately, I have found neither military records for Leslie Dence (born 1917), nor this abbreviation. Any help appreciated. Thank you.
Best regards
Christine
