My 2nd cousin, once removed and her half brother have been connected. Needless to say he was stunned to read he had more relatives in Canada. Thanks to all who helped. Both of them are trying to fill out gaps in each other's childhood.

Off to see if I can find out about access to Fleet Air Arm records. That is what their father served in, in WW II.

Thanks. I did do a search from 1919 to 1925 for all Battyes but I wasn't as sharp as you.

Is the FreeBMD considered complete for around 1922? I can't seem to find Doreen, assuming that she was born in the UK.

Ah, thanks! From my Ancestry.com view, I thought I had access to FreeBMD up to 1915 only.

England / Jenner-Battye

Posting this on behalf of a 2nd cousin. Her father Frederick Gerald Jenner (1922-1992), married Doreen M. Battye in the Pancras district Middlesex (London) in the period April-June 1942. They split up, and then Doreen died in the early 1950s, but they did have one child, a son. It is thought that the child went to live with his grandmother in Wales.

My cousin is curious to know more about this part of her father's life.

I checked every link at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nysulliv/cemetery.htm and I did not find any Ameglio.

You'll find something on Dominic at http://www.archives.com. There's a 7 day free trial. Not sure how good it is.

You said in reply #2 on page 1 that

I did get a reply from a researcher who is not active anymore but thought this case intriguing enough to take up. I gave this person this thread link, so we'll see what happens.

Nothing jumped out at me for Ontario marriages nor for the Drouin Collection in Quebec. These names are easy to spell and I did not look for variations.

I'm not familair with resources for other provinces, but I will look.
