Hello

Please may I ask if anyone lives in Lincoln,  Nebraska?
If so could you possibly and please, very kindly pop in to the archives, to have a look into two main boxes, relating to my father during WWII, and possibly one other box too please. The papers possibly belonged to my father, my father didn't yell me about them.

I have the details and box/es reference numbers.

I very much look forward to hearing from you.   Kind regards.  Jed

William Henry Astin, was a miller and baker, he lived at the Mill in Duddington.

Please can anyone help find William Henry Astin's burial place, and or the cemetery please... because his burial is a complete mystery to his family.  I feel that because William H. Astin was a miller, a baker, and of good standing in his village, there should at least be a burial, and or a mention of this somewhere.

I believe William H Astin was attacked,  or in a brawl at a pub in his village, Duddington, shortly before his demise. I know there was an article (possibly even a death notice?) written in a local newspaper, which I'd like to see please, if you're able to find this as well.

I'll add as much as I can below, on William and his family.

I'd love to see anything you can find relating to William H Astin, and the Mill please... many thanks... in anticipation.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi, thank you for checking in on the Elmsgarth's whereabouts again. And yes it would be great if anyone else can add to this, also to the SS Dulcie as well
Thank you lotsss.
Jed

The Elmsgarth left Cardiff for Civita Vecchia on 11th May, arrived 21st. After that I lose track of her. There is a report on 14 June that she is in St Louis but that could be an error. There will be a record of the voyage somewhere and others may know where to find it.

Hello Andy

Thank you very much for explaining the military jargon, also the aircraft to me as well, as yes I'm a novice to the world of the Royal Navy and the Fleet Air Arm.

I love everything military, you could definitely say its in my blood because a vast nunber of my family have served in many ways throughout time, but very sadly far too many served during our two great wars. My father served for 50 years from WW2 onwards. 

I have a great deal to learn.

Many thanks.
Jed

Good evening SiGr

Yes thank you very much, this is George and his family.

A number of years back, I saw Davids promotions maybe via Navy books/ registers, including his Service No. but I'm sorry I can't quite remember where.

Many thanks again.
Jed

Is this your man ?
