My Dad was based here for a while in ‘43/‘44. I wonder if anyone could tell me what sort of facilities there would have been for the men at that time or at any other of the Indian RAF bases, eg. Sleeping quarters, mess huts etc.
Any information regarding this may be useful.
Many thanks PtE

Thank you for that, it may certainly come in handy at some stage. In the case that I am researching at the moment, I do consult Edward Hasted’s survey of different parishes and here he has given me the surname of the family and their residence, but I needed to find out whether it was the father or the son who purchased the manor. Having read the Wills of both men they only refer to their manors, lands etc. in Kent or Sussex or various counties, without naming any particular properties, so not helpful. That’s the joy of research, you have to think of other ways to come up with a solution if it’s not spelt out for you.
all the best

Hi everyone,
Hoping someone can help me with the term “late of” in early documents. Will put this into context, “as to the manor late of Joe Bloggs”. I know that this doesn’t mean that Mr Bloggs is deceased, so, is it more likely to mean that he was formerly/previously the owner of the manor, or he has become the owner of late ie currently/recently ?. When I am trying to determine the dates of certain events either meaning can make a difference.
Best regards

By golly that was quick! Many thanks  Rosie that has finished the demolition job!
