Seeking information about a Police Officer, - in Clitheroe?
« on: Monday 27 April 15 14:08 BST (UK) »
My mother's first cousin was Herbert Cyril Snook who died aged 61 in Clitheroe, Lancashire in 1956.

He was an Army Officer in 1945 and then became a policeman in Lancashire.

I have a photo of him in uniform - I have not been able to insert the image ::)

His family lived in Blackburn and Clitheroe when he was an Army Officer and up until his death.

Can anyone help me to find out more details?

Was his wife called Valentine?  (And possibly son of a soldier?)

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

So far then

Probate, marriage and medals from Rosie 17 (and me)

There is part of a WW1 service record for very likely the same Herbert Cyril Snook born in Kingston Jamaica, schooled at the Duke of Yorks Military School (like lots of army brats).  Also to be found on 1901 census with soldier father George and his wife Mary at Glen Parva Barracks Leicester.  Could well be the same chap - do you need more detailed info?

The information about the Military side of the Family is as follows.

Father: George Henry Snook married Mary Sophia Green 26 August 1893 Kingston Jamaica.
In 1895 they were still in Kingston when Herbert Cyril Snook was born 4 Jan 1895 - I have a copy of the birth certificate.

George was a Color Sergeant 3/Leicestershire Regiment, Glen Parva, Leicestershire in 1901.
He died 1q 1905 Blaby 7a 17.

Any other Information about father and son would help me to fill in the gaps. :D
