Sharon, Have you tried the shipping passenger lists at Ancestorsonboard? http://www.ancestorsonboard.com/ Use this site directly, rather than through a third party provider (cheaper downloads and faster to search). The chances are that your ancestor and his bride to be (messages in this MIDDX post indicate that they married in Canada) would have travelled by ship, and possibly on the same voyage, or the bride to be followed him out to Canada some months later. > ------------------------------ > > Message: 2 > Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2010 02:51:39 -0400 > From: "sharon macvicar" <bpmax@seascape.ns.ca> > Subject: [MDX] RE- ENGLAND > > Hello listers; > > I know this is going to be asking alot but here it goes. > :>< SNIP > > ....... 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 > -- Richard Brown Bromley, Kent U.K.

It's FindMyPast :)) They have a separate site for it the same as they have a separate one for the 1911 census as well as having it on their main site. The search results take you straight to FMP's main site. I was able to view the images as well apparently for free but I have a sub to FMP which it may have recognised. -- 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/
