Bertram G Spicer
« on: Thursday 27 March 25 17:05 GMT (UK) »
Trying to find what happened to a Bertram Glanville Spicer of Aberdeen.

He was on the 1911 Census, but not the 1921 Census - The family are listed, not Betrram

Listed on a 1905 valuation, roll, thats where trail is cold.  WW1 was possible but no CWGC or Scotlands People Death (so may have been overseas?)

Can anybody help?

Where & when was he born - nothing on SP for that name

Is he the 1880 birth in Watford?

Thanks Everybody

I see he died in 1953, one of his daughters wenet to the USA in 1956 (Sybil Spicer) and she visited an address in New Jersey.  10 Bradford Avenue Upper Montclair New Jersey

Is there any way to find who stayed there in the 50s?

As an aside, if it's the same Sybil Spicer, she was a teacher at Middlefield School in Aberdeen during WW2. She was seriously injured in a bombing raid on 21st April 1943 while on fire watch duty, and lost a leg as a result. She had a prosthetic fitted, and returned to teaching afterwards.

Hang on - I think you'll know this already! Just looked at the profile name.
