Gloucestershire / Re: Boys Boarding Schools in Cheltenham 1934 to 1944 ish

Yes, it was the first place I looked.  It is quite complex as he seems to have left a trail of mysteries ie his parents, which she is gradually attempting to solve from the little he said.   The school route is one such trail which may give more info, if he can be identified!

Gloucestershire / Boys Boarding Schools in Cheltenham 1934 to 1944 ish

Can anyone assist to identify a boys boarding school in this period in Cheltenham?  I am researching my sister in law's father and all she knows is that he attended a boarding school there, recalling him speaking of it.  He is now deceased.  He was born 1925/26 and she believes he went at the age of 8.  I have looked on the Gloucs Archives site and done a general search on the internet to no avail.
We are hoping to find more details re him if the school had/has accessible records surviving and we would be able to access/contact each establishment and hopefully identify the school he attended. Thank you for reading and offering any names of schools.

Thank you.  It looks as if is could be the building with much renovation for apartments.

Bedfordshire / Re: HILL family of Bedfordshire

Thank you!  I had found 12 L5 series documents in their online search and 3 ABP Wills - all Hill's of Flitton and neighbouring parishes but those 2 eluded me.  I will follow it up.

Could you please let me know if the 2 Wills of John Hill, dated 3rd December 1606 and Elizabeth Hill's dated 5th September 1614 are within the book you mention or are available from any other source?
I have done searches to find them to no avail.  I believe that John/Elizabeth could be  10x great grandparents of mine so would like to establish if either Wills can confirm this or not through their son, Thomas and his son, Francis chr. 1608 Flitton. Thank you.

Thank you!  I was using Ancestry, with which I couldn't do an address search and it gave several sub districts to search through.  Have now been successful in finding the info using Find My Past.
