John Plagis/Joan Bolton

[pml518]

Hello

        The WW2 fighter pilot John Agorastos Plagis married Joan Bolton in Peterborough Northamptonshire in 1944. Does any one have any more details please? Or are you related?

Thank You for any help

Just Google "John Agorastos Plagis" and you will find lots of information and photos of him.

Thanks for your  reply. Yes there is quite a lot on John Plagis available on the web. I should have worded the request clearer. I am trying to find out a bit about where he married and who Joan Bolton was. They had 4  children but later divorced.

Regards
Paul

Are you certain that they are both dead,as Rootschat doesn't allow the names of living people on the message boards.

You will have to purchase the marriage cert to find out more about Joan,her maiden name was fairly common and there must have been loads that might fit.

Hi Carol

John Plagis is deceased.

You can order a copy of the marriage cert from the GRO www.gro.gov.uk

Sept 1944

BOLTON  Joan  Plagis  Peterbro'  3b 648   
BOLTON  Penelope A  Plagis  Peterbro'  3b 648   

PLAGIS  John A  Bolton  Peterbro  3b 648   

As there is the possibility than Joan was also known as Penelope, you can order the cert in his name only, John A Plagis

There's a possible death entry in 2007 for Penelope Plagis

Thanks for reply

               John was from Rhodesia and in 1956 moved back there, he sadly took his own life in 1975, not sure if his former wife is alive or not, probably not.
               Not sure where you got the Penelope connection from, it does not come up on site I am using, mine just says also married  July , Aug , Sept. so presume your site confirms Sept.
               I am doing some research on Plagis so this is background detail. Trying to avoid having to order certificate if possible.

               Thanks for your posts.

If you're serious about research you'll buy the cert.  Jul-Aug-Sep means the marriage was registered in that quarter and could have taken place at any time in any of those 3 months.

An alternative to getting the cert from the GRO would be to check all the Peterborough parishes for it - but they may have married in a register office or non-conformist or Catholic church so personally I think getting the cert from the GRO is the simplest way.

You might find an obituary (don't know where, if he died in Rhodesia) which might give more info about the marriage and his wife.
