Try https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
You may find  the surname you are looking for with mothers maiden name the same in the right area and time frame.
Of course the surname would hange on adoption and probably the christian name.

Shropshire / Re: Attwell/Allen family
« on: Thursday 13 November 25 15:05 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
Using 1921 census and Freebmd I think parents were probably George Attwell and Louie Allen married 1919 Wellington Salop.
If you look for an Atwell birth with mmn Attwell in th 1930's in Shropshire there is a likely candidate for the child.
She is most likely redacted in 1939 with parents May and Harry.
Interested to see if others agree.

Durham / Re: John Donkin - who were his parents?
« on: Thursday 13 November 25 08:49 GMT (UK)  »
Added... I think the following this is John Joseph Donkin born 1894 so not the John we are looking for.

There does seem to be another Donkin family living in Victor Street in 1901 though nothing to suggest they may be related to the search so apologies if this confuses everything!

1901   20 Victor Street, Monkswearmouth
John and Hannah Donkin and children, there is a John but he is down as aged 7 so age not right. John was a Cartman.

I think possibly Hannah's maiden name was Faulkner.

Newspaper piece 7th July 1898 for the death of Elizabeth aged 2yrs 7 mths. Only daughter of John and Hannah Donkin of 108 Victor Street.


The same family with extra children (mmn Faulkner) but no John jnr appear to be at 46 Zetland Street, sunderland in 1911. Transcribed Duncan on FindMyPast.

There is a report of the inquest in the
Stockport County Express 23rd April 1931

It mentions that Arthur Rhodes was still living with his wife at the time.

Hi,
There is a picture of his marriage in the Bournemouth Times and Directory 27th September 1940. It mentions he is in the RAF but he is not in uniform in the photo.

World War Two / Re: Intelligence Corps WWll
« on: Thursday 02 October 25 19:39 BST (UK)  »
 Interestingly..
He was travelling on the same ship as
Douglas McKay Tulloch aged 28  Master Mariner from Falkirk.
There is a passenger list from Swansea to Port Said in 1945 with the same
Douglas McKay Tulloch  33 who is now an Iraq Government Official heading back to Iraq.
I'm probably making up my own story here but might be of interest.

Previous post from AlanBoyd
There is a 1939 Electoral Register entry from Surrey—Bernard and Olive Atkinson—address 'Windrush', Lunghurst Road, Woldingham

At that address in the 1939 Register, Olive Atkinson, married,  plus two redacted, so no sign of this Bernard Atkinson at the address.

Interesting passenger list?
Ship Baluchistan sailed 27th June 1940 for Basra.
Atkinson  Bernard aged 41
Merchant
Windnesh, Woldingham, Surrey.

Googling there might have been need for intelligence in Iraq in WW2.
