Any child is likely to be still alive?
And RootsChat rules do not allow us to mention the names of any living, or potentially living, person?

This is a forum for finding our ancestors, not living relatives as we have a 'no living people' policy here.

You might find useful hints and tips here though.

I know we have a 'no living people' policy here but the information in the birth, marriage and death index does not tie up with your posting and his entry on the Commonwealth War Graves site.

Do you have an exact date and place of birth for the son?

Thank you - I have a picture of VT Bradley's grave in the Netherlands (died 1943) and it mentions 'baby' - there is a Victor T Bradley born 1942 - mothers maiden name Tomlinson - I guess it might not be his son but it's quite a coincidence...?

I think that baby died in 1943 according to the indexes

There is a possible birth registration in Jan/Feb/Mar 1944, you should get that certificate from the General Register Office (www.gro.gov.uk) to make sure it is correct.

If it is correct there is a later marriage and that couple are still alive.
