WW11 Royal Navy
« on: Sunday 07 July 24 19:17 BST (UK) »
Looking for any info on George Raymond Mann 1902-1967. born in Warwickshire, Petty Officer in Royal Navy.

We know nothing about his history at all, other than birth/death, so would like to know anything about him. So any info would be greatly appreciated even other search sites.

Do you have him in the 1911 and 1921 census?

Also, where did he die in 1967?

Not seeing a 1902 birth for that name yet. Who were his parents?

We have very limited info & sadly no access to Census info. We know his wife was named Eva Clarke and he was born and died in Warwick/Leamington, don't even know his parents name.
