Hello listers; I know this is going to be asking alot but here it goes. Here in Canada we have a magazine call "Legion" which is for those in the sevices of Canada. I would like to know if England also has such a magazine? If anyone knows would you please let me know what it is and the address for it if possible. Thankyou oh so much in advance. The reason for this is that my father was in WW 2 and was stationed in England. I read in his papers that he was thinking of getting married and staying in England, and have the need to see if I can find out who he was thinking of marrying and possibly if just maybe there was a child involved. I would be so excited to find said child and the family and get to know them and let them know about his life after he came back to Canada and for them to get to know his family all of them. Sharon

If he stayed in England and married, then you'll find the marriage in FindMyPast and/or AncestryUK. FreeBMD hasn't got that far as yet. From there you should be able to find be able to find any children there might have been, providing he didn't marry a widow. Widows married under their late husband's name, as you know, but didn't always make mention of their maiden name. It's the maiden name that'll be on the child(ren)'s birth certificates, probably with no mention of their previous married name. Do bear in mind that whilst you'd be excited about the prospect of having some half siblings, they may not be so overjoyed. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk http://www.savethegurkhas.co.uk/
