World War Two / Robert Henry Cheesman 2nd World War Record
« on: Wednesday 29 February 12 17:49 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help? I am trying to find out where my father was stationed and when during the second world war. In particular I am interested in when he was stationed on Ranmore (near Dorking Surrey) on the North Downs during 1941 when Nineteen high explosive bombs fell in a long line among trees and bracken on Ranmore Common. I understand that several soldiers may have lost their lives at this time.
My father's regiments are: Unit: Ex 69 LAA Royal Artillery
Previous units: Res AA Regt
Res Mobil Regt
97th Reg 4HH
Res HA Last
His war record is: Enlisted: 15th July 1940
Rank; Gunner
Royal Engineers 15/07/1940 to 31/07/1940
Royal Artillery 1/08/1940 to 3/03/1946
Army Number 1583442
Departed UK 12/03/1943
Arrived India 6/06/1943
Many thanks, Neil

Surrey Completed Look up Requests / Re: 1902 inquest into the death of Ernest Cheesman

Hi Erica, I really don't know how to thank you (I feel quite moved). I have now looked at the link that you sent and have read about Ernest Cheesman (who would have been my Uncle) My sister had said that our Granmother had told her that she had gone to court over the death of a a daughter due to a vaccination. Whether time had changed this or indeed whether there was another child I don't know.
What is somewhat concerning is that a local history group (Westcott) have part of the transcript about Ernest and his mother and that this has been copied on to a local Public House website... it only shows the medical doctors viewpoint which I don't wish to repeat here. Needless to say my brothers and sister are not happy about it. My grandmother lived to an old age and died in the 1950's.
What an awful state of affairs. I will be writing to the local history group and also the public house.
Thank you very much indeed.

Surrey Completed Look up Requests / 1902 inquest into the death of Ernest Cheesman
« on: Monday 13 April 09 15:37 BST (UK) »
Hi, I have read on a local village Public House website, quoting information from an inquest from 1902. Can anyone advise where the details of inquests are kept?
The inquest in question was of a Westcott ( Near Dorking in Surrey) resident named Ernest Cheesman (an infant) and the date is 1902.
Any help gratefully received.
