Hi I'm new to this list and hope someone can help. My late dad's brother was born in Stockton in 1922. I was told that he died in the army. On the Common Wealth War Graves there is a Thomas William Patterson who died 24th December 1944, I think that this could possibly be him as he is the only one who has no next of kin detailed. However, I have not been able to find a record of his death with St. Catharine's Index, so therefore I cannot verify it. I am not the next of kin, there is still a brother and sister alive, we have no contact and believe that they would not want us to look into it. Has anyone got any suggestions of where to go.

Hi Diane, Did your search include the GRO WAR DEATHS ARMY OTHER RANKS (1939 to 1948) index ?

Have you got any documentation which proves that your uncle had a second forename of William? The Army Roll of Honour states that Sapper T W Patterson was born and resided in County Durham, so that ties in nicely with Stockton. Also that he was not in the Army at the outbreak of WW2. See https://www.military-genealogy.com/productHome?product=ww2 for details of the on-line version of this database, and http://www.world-war-2-casualties.com/about_cd.htm for the CD-ROM version.
