[mudmonster]

Hello ,I have been trying to trace a William J P Sankey dob 30/10/1913 in Malta ,I know who he married .I just cannot find any thing on his background.
Thanks

Does he name a father on his 1937 marriage cert? 

What were his middle 2 names? 

There is an incoming passenger entry 27.8.1928 from Brisbane for a 14yr old William Sankey going to 111 Westfield Rd  West Ealing.  No other Sankey's on list but several other passenger entries show RN (Royal Navy)

His full name appears to be William Joseph Paul Sankey (from a small piece in newspapers)

Thanks for that Cathy very informative,I have now been told that he had brothers ,one was a Joseph Sankey who was a sergeant in the coldstream guards he was issued the Military Medal ,I will try to find out .

There is a Joseph E S Sankey who gained the MM for sevice at Dunkirk in 1943. He was in the RASC though not the Coldstream .
Pretty sure tis was Joseph Edward Spencer Sankey born 11th May 1912 from death index)  who married Lucy A M Henderson in 1942 Okehampton.(Wifes mother Mrs Henderson mentioned in newspaper).
He is on the 1939 but no pointers as to possible family.
There is a passenger list 1931 Plymouth to Malta
Sankey Joseph Edward Sankey 11th May 1912 photographer aged 18 ...19 Carfee Terrace, mount Gold Road, Plymouth
Intended place of residence Malta.

Frustratingly can t find parents.

Thanks cathy for this info,again  you seem to have got the right one(hopefully)Maybe he went over to coldstream later,I will look this Joseph up as to when he died,Tyburn London  has been mentioned also a wife called Kitty so maybe he has married again
Thanks again
