Thinking about the Blitz in 1941 made me check my late Uncle's details. Duncan LASCELLES married Gertie HAUGHTON (born c.1917) at Birkenhead Register Office in October 1939. Gertie's address was 61, Holt Road, Birkenhead. He died at the Rolls Royce factory in Crewe on Sunday afternoon, 29 December 1940. (A lone bomber dumped some bombs on a field, except for one which caught the corner of the factory.) My Mum was not "allowed" to go to the funeral - men only....and was never told if he was buried or where. The witness at the wedding in 1939 was Arthur HUGHES. The death was registered by 'A. HUGHES, brother in law' of 6, Balfour Road, Birkenhead. I am assuming 'A' was Arthur, and he was married to a sister of Gertie. Do any of these names, or addresses ring any bells please? Contact with Gertie was lost after the war. I would love to make contact with anyone from these families. Regards, Ruth in Brum.
