    thank you for your quick response

    trithfully im not sure dont know much about my mums side of family

    all i know is that my ggm(great grand ma) was mabel fancy born 20th april 1887 in kingston or kingstown, untill she married fredrick william roberts

    her daughter grace mabel roberts was born in 1921, she married edward charles botting in 1942 in chichester her husband edward charles botting was serving with the royal sussex regiment when they wed aprt from that im lost and stumped

    its cost me loads and still havnt got any where

    i do beleve that edward received 5 medals during ww2

    and also that fredrick roberts also served in ww1 and also received medal but even my searches have turned up a blank

    but thank you for helping

    this would appear to be reginald death. you could buy the certificate which would give you details of the informant



    Name:Reginald Benjamin RobertsBirth Date:26 Mar 1918Death Registration Month/Year:Oct 1990Age at death (estimated):72 Registration districtoncaster Inferred County:Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire Volume:3 Page:480



    there are quite a few reginald roberts marrying so unless you know an area or timeframe to narrow it down ???

    Regarding Edward Bottings Service number where did you get it?

    If it was from a medal maybe the only way you will get further information is to order his service records from MOD? You will need signed permission of his next of kin.

    Unless he received a bravery award it is unlikely that the regimental museum will have a record of him, but always worth an email.

    If he was not pensioned off or wounded he will not be on spit.spit. spit ancestry.con (if you have read their proposed legal action against this site you'll understand).
