Hi Sancti,
Many thanks for the information.

Bear in mind that although the picture appeared in the Carluke Gazzete it would have covered local rural areas and according to SP there were, between 1910-1925

2 Davids born in Carluke
1 David born in Forth
1 David born Tarbrax


He may also have been born elsewhere and moved to the area as a child

Thanks Sancti, your help,  it is a big help for our search...
Best regards,
 suanj

GenesReunited also has a couple of Davids listed as born 1921 Bermondsey. Maybe he settled there after the war and later family assumed it was his birthplace.

Hi Sancti,
I made a account to Genes Reunited, but are all records that I already have by SP and ancestry.com ... the problem is that we have no birthdate and by pictures  it is a bit hard that someone recognize it...
However the birthplace is Carluke and rural area... for bad luck the Carluke Gazette, replied kindly and recognized the press cutting as a Carluke Gazette cutting, but without date the search is a bit long and they cannot help... the local library in Lanark has all the old files on microfiche ... and that seeming the only way for to find something, hoping that it are the first names of David Jackson brothers...
Thanks a lot,

Hi Suanj

Been following the story of David and your search for him  Can I ask, when you contacted the Carluke Gazette, did you also email over the reverse side of the photo from the paper? Although no date of the issue is on it, I did notice a number on the top left hand side (2259) and wondered what this could be and perhaps whether it could help to identify the issue of that day's newpaper.

Just curious, how did Davide Perlini come to have this newspaper cutting? Is it something his father left behind?

It would be really useful for your searches if you were able to confirm his brothers' names from this photo in the Caluke Gazette.

Hi Monica, thanks for your suggestion;
 yes I sent all to Carluke Gazette, also the reverse side with 2259 number... because thinked that was helpful, but the kind reply is that the search is a bit long....
the press cutting and the picture with David Jackson in uniform was given from David Jackson to Fernanda Perlini... in the picture in uniform, lacking the other part and sure it was abt a related person....

only by a search in Carluke Gazette it is possible further step...
but I know not as to make, and they have no a digital Archive on line...

thanks,

By pictures, taken in different time, seeming that the first destination was Scots Guards, and in WWII-Italy in the RASC; I found a David Jackson in the RASC on London Gazette http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/37773/supplements/5356
 but it is hard to say abt this  David Jackson that had a promotion....

Hi Suanj

I've been on the phone 

I've just spoken to the archivist at Lanark Library. The number below the masterhead Carluke is the issue number! From a quick look at issues of the newspaper, he estimates this photograph was taken late 1949 to first weeks of 1950.

They have all the back issues at the library for this period on microfilm. He is happy to do a look up for us, however, there is now a charge for non Lanarkshire residents of £10GB, free for residents of Lanarkshire though.....so I thought of you Sancti 

He is going to email me a form that can be used to submit the enquiry which I can forward on. He thinks it will take about a week for a response.

I've explained to him the background on the story and got him on side - a nice helpful man
