Is this him? apologies if yu have already, no service number i,m afraid.
Cathy

Thank you very much cath151 - that is him. I haven't found these newspaper snips before so it's nice to have more. Seems like I'll have to wait for some records to come out over the next few years from the MoD

Birth March qtr 1918 Albert Stanley Jackson mmn Stevenson Wolstanton 6b 219

WW2 records are with MoD but understand some are now digitalised

He is later shown as a released PoW

Thank you for the reply, that is the gentleman I am researching that you've identified. Seems strange that I've not been able to find anything at all for him, whereas for other people I've managed to find the service number at least - perhaps that might be because they joined before the war started?

Hi, I hope this is the correct place to post such a request.

I'm trying to locate a service number for a gentleman by the name Albert Stanley Jackson. Born 19 Feb 1918 in Stoke on Trent. I have found a newspaper clipping that he was missing during the war and returned in 1942. The article mentioned he was in service for about 2 years at the time but I can't seem to find anything on Ancestry, FindMyPast or Fold3 - very odd... Is there anyone able to assist on this please?

Thanks in advance.

That would be a good explanation why I can't find it then - I'll keep looking and see if I can find some more on the brides' side to narrow down a parish. Thanks again Elwyn, much appreciated

Hi Elwyn,
When you were previously helping me, I don't suppose you remember if you came across a marriage for Henry McCoy and Mary Cummings?

Thanks again for all the information and links, it's given me a strong foot forward for the next step.

I did have a look at the Griffith link & map, it was very interesting to me and a very useful link. Had a quick peek at the old builds and the nice new house there too.

Agreed on your Harry/Henry point. It can be tricky to 'unsee' a name sometimes, a nice lesson for me to be more open eyed and minded!

Thank you again Elwyn, it's amazed me how much in depth info you've managed to collect - you're time and help is very much appreciated! I will go through what you've posted below tomorrow with fresher eye balls. Interesting that Annie's has a connection to Cadzow, this was the place that Denis' son got married in 1906.

Just as an FYI, I got the docs for Michael:

- Marriage in 1871: 28, Coal Miner. Father: ?Henry? McKay, ag. lab. Mother: Mary McKay m.s Cummings. One of the witness' is a James McKay
- 81 Census: 38, Coal Miner from Ireland
- 91 Census: 54, Coal Miner from Ireland
- 01 Census: 64, Coal Miner from Ireland
- Death in 1907: 56, Coal Miner widower of Catherine Gribbin. Father: Henry McKay, Farmer. Mother: Mary McKay m.s Cummings. Witness: Son, John McKay (6 Young St, Hamilton)

I've had a dig on Ancestry and the below.

Is McCoy > McKay a feasible jump? Or is it possible some of them just changed their Irish name to a more Scottish one when they moved to Scotland?

Will look at the Michael McKay records shortly

Thank you for taking a look Elwyn.

That certainly does look promising, I've dangerously gone by a tree from a DNA match to get the info of Michael (not my usual technique) and they estimate his birth around  1843 (I'd guess they got it from a death rec due to the accurate date of death). So your info and his seem to line up.

Was there anything to suggest Denis was in that record set? (Do you have the link still handy?)

Just looking at might notes again for Denis' birth and it seems the dates are slightly sketchy:
Marriage Record in 1884, aged 28 (suggests 1856)
Census in 1891, aged 35 (suggests 1856)
Census in 1901, aged 45 (suggests 1856)
Census in 1911, aged 48 (suggests 1863)
Death Record in 1935, aged 76 (suggests 1859)

I'll have a look on Scotland's people and try get some credits for the marriage/death/census records of Michael
