Hi Steve,

thank you for taking the time to drive to Mundford. He was born in Kent, Gravesend 1905. Don't know where he lived when he died. All I know that his death was registered 1978 Wayland. If Nancy was still alive then (or if they were still married) I don't know either. More questions then answers I'm afraid.
Again thank you for your time.

regards

I'm not sure of anything atm. All I have is his name, his wifes and childrens names. He was with the RAF from 1920 to 1950's and his death was registered in 1978 Wayland Norfolk.
I have no connection with him. But my nan had 2 beautiful photos of him dated 1920s. I think he was her first love. An uncle of mine is interested in him and would like to know where he is buried.
