Hi looking info on a Joseph Beatty Parke  died in 1941  said on another site died from wounds at Dunkirk his mother lived at 6 The Point Groomsport in 1941 but moved before 1943 to Belfast  his name is on the Groomsport war memorial and  Church but no details

[ShaunJ]

There only 11 names on the Groomsport war memorial on the church doors. No Parke.

The public memorial records that Lieut J B Parke served abroad (presumably WW!). Not a death.

There is a newspaper snippet which has a death in 1974., Drumbeg.

A Family tree shows this man with mother Gertrude. Is that your man?

Hi J B Parke is on the war memorial and in the Presbyterian Church board but this is the father who has the same name he died in 1924  the son died in 1941 going by the newpaper article

the son died in 1941 going by the newpaper article

Which newspaper article?

[heywood]

I can only reiterate the information in several trees - death 1974.

Death announcement Belfast Telegraph 3rd April 1974.

It would be worth checking out.
