World War Two / Re: WAAF Postings
« on: Monday 15 April 19 08:03 BST (UK)  »
Good morning Ross

Thanks again.  Yes, this is a very strange entry.  I give details below plus the 3 prior entries as these link in, I think.

82/43         -     Swanton Morley        H      ?       23.04.43 (date of movement)
222/43       -     West Raynham (9)     -      -       10.09.43   
/                -     Swanton Morley         -      -            -
184/43       -     11s of TT                  H      B      09.10. 43

On the last entry, overwritten faintly (pencil?) in the first 2 columns is "W RAYNHAM PORS"

In the mustering column are the following related entries.

ut Inst. Rpn.  23.06.43
U/T SEW (2)    7.10.43
SEA (5)         28.10.43

Again any help would be much appreciated.

Subject to any further feedback from you, I have now written up my mum's war service, including details of RAF stations served at and with supplementary information and photographs.  It is a 23-page WORD document so can be transferred electronically.  Is there anywhere that this can be posted on line for historical purposes?

Happy to send you a personal copy if you let me have your email.  My email is bob.young@y-c-s.co.uk.

Thanks again for your help, Ross.  Very much appreciated.

Bob

Sorry - one more query.

On 10 September 1943, Ruby was posted to "No. 11 school of technical training" for 1 month (probably parachute packing) and her service record possibly suggests this was at RAF West Raynham, Norfolk.  However, I have also seen references to Hereford.  Can you help?

Thanks

Bob

Thanks very much, Ross.  That's the final piece in the jigsaw and makes absolute sense as the mother, Ruby, then served at Base 44 (Holme) and then Base 43 (Driffield), before being posted to RAF Kemble, then being discharged at RAF Wythall.

I really am very grateful for your help.

Thanks once again 

Bob

Thanks very much for your speedy response.  The acronyms make sense as mum was a parachute packer after working on barrage balloon.

Thanks also for the info on 9076.  Did this have a location?  Mum's is designated 9076 SE.  She was based at RAF Blackbushe just before this and then moved to RAF Holme in Yorkshire.

I am researching my mother's war service in the WAAFs.  I have her service records and can interpret most of these but I am having trouble with two what appear to be personal designations - "SEW" and "SEA".  She worked on barrage balloons and parachute packing and also had a posting to "9076 SE" on 8 December 1943, which I cannot identify.  Can anyone help?

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) Lookup Requests / Bridlington Priory Look-up - Sampson/Lyon
« on: Thursday 20 February 14 16:57 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching Jane Sampson (1730) of Bridlington who married Daniel Lyon in Bridlington in 1752 and probably had around 9 children between 1754 and 1773.  Both families are local to Bridlington (there are Lyon and Sampson records back to 1720/30, but I can find no birthdate for Daniel.  Any help from someone with access to Brid prory records would be appreciated re Daniel's birth and his family forward from there.

Thanks

Jane Sampson (1730) married Daniel Lyon in Bridlington and they had 9 children (probably).  I cannot find a record online of Daniel's birth (presumably Bridlington as there are Lyon family records going back to 1720/30 and info on the Lyon line in Bridlington is very thin.  I would appreciate help from anyone with access to Brid Priory records.

Thanks
