Thread: Trying to find G A Jolliffe

I have a scan of a letter sent from a G A Jolliffe to C Gordon Jolliffe Esq.

I have been trying to find out who G A Jollife is with no luck so far.

The letter was written on 8th April 1936 and the address was Clifton House, Lee-on-solent, Hants.

The letter is discussing family history and this person might have been contacted by one of my ancestors just because they shared the same surname - they are trying to find a connection.

In the letter he (I am assuming a he) indicates that his father was from the Isle of Wight and that he (the letter writer) was born in Portsmouth.

Can anyone make any suggestions how I might track this person down

Thanks

If you try in BMD at ancestry.com you will find the birth year for four Joliffes....Here -

This may set you in the right direction.

Thanks to all - I now have somewhere to start
