Armed Forces / Re: Armed Forces deaths post WW2

Thank you, a lot to try there. I'll also try a newspaper search in the hope that any local deaths may have been reported.

Thanks Andy - I'm working on this with Greensleeves. The biggest problem is we haven't got any names, and there may not even be any who were involved. We presume majority would have been from the time of conscription. I don't suppose there is anyway to search using place of birth or residence? It's a relatively small town/village and unfortunately being in Wales lots of common Welsh names.

Would the British Legion be able to help?

How does she fit in here - was her maiden name Watling? The original post is 14 years old and Chris47 hasn't logged in since 2017.

Charles, this is a really old thread started in 2010. The original poster hasn't been on RootsChat since 2014, so may not see your post.

The Common Room / Re: GRO digital images

I've just downloaded a couple and it really is instant. The quality isn't as good as a certificate or a pdf, but absolutely fine for information as it gives the same details.

The Common Room / Re: Ancestry Subscription Discount
« on: Wednesday 05 July 23 19:11 BST (UK)  »
I was offered a 25% discount on the live chat but phoned and told them I had a link for 50% discount on a year subscription for Worldwide and asked if they could match that…..No problem sir and current subscription was cancelled ( only a few days left on it) and new subscription activated immediately.
Worth a phone call!!!

If you use the link I gave you don't even have to call them. Just wait until your subscription has expired and you show as guest. Mine ran out while I was using the site, and I was able to use the link immediately.

The Common Room / Re: Two different listings in the Birth register ?
« on: Saturday 01 July 23 22:41 BST (UK)  »
Not uncommon if the parents aren't married. My great nephew and nieces are indexed 3 times - once in their mother's name, once in their father's and once in the double barrelled name they use. There is only one certificate in the double barrelled name.
