BALCHIN, Ernest (b. 1905 - d. 1980)
« on: Wednesday 20 August 08 23:53 BST (UK) »
I am looking for some help please.  :) Is it possible that anyone here could look for any records of Ernest Balchin. Dates are believe to be
b. 1905
d. 1980
place of birth: Brighton (Possibly)
spouse: Eileen Evelyn Watts b. 1920  /  d. 2006
Married: ????  (Suggested may not have married until approx 1975 and maybe at worthing?)

This man is my grandfather and i know absolutely nothing about him and his roots. Oh I do know he was a fireman and it maybe he done some 20 - 25 years service possible in Brighton and also maybe London during WWII

Many Thanks  :)

Hello Suz Thanx for your help. Very much appreciated.   :) Regarding your last post did you mean what you said or would you have meant you looked into marrriages 1973/4/5 as 1873 would have been too early.

ooh - I thought I looked at 1975- but maybe I looked wrongly - that's what comes of living in the past!!!!

Ah thats fantastic. Can I visit somewhere ie records office to obtain a certificate for their marriage and then their births. I have names for the parents of Eileen but nothing at all for Ernest. Would love to make some some more progress with Ernest  :)
