No the image is quite clearly Masters though to be fair anyone not used to that style of handwriting could easily mistake it.

The more you get into this lark the more you realize spelling is not something you should get hooked up on!

Actually it's Robert I'm having trouble with. I'm wondering if it's Robard as the end letter doesn't look like a 't'.

Ozi.

the only reason i thought it was robert was through a search on here under 1941 census the typed document said robert but i didnt think it looked right and now im really not sure. Thanks again for your help, my Grandad is over the moon he was fostered and didnt know anything about his family. We found out that his uncle died last week and he seems to be the last of them.

Wow! I've heard of some near misses but that's awful.

I hope you're in contact with some cousins.

I can't find any Robard or Richard Masters so I guess it is Robert.

Ozi.

Not one member. my grandads older brother lives near but he refuses to talk about the family, he and my grandad were put in care when they were 7 and 3 so i can understand really but its still frustrating!

I bet it is Robert.

If you can afford to get the cert it might give you some clues. The person who registered the death might have been a relative.

im going to try and fill in the gaps first ive got a few birth certificates ordered so i will see what happens once they arrive. thanks again for helping me.x

Yes, it's always good policy to work backwards. Robert's cert will have to wait.

I suggest you print all this info off & file it somewhere for future reference.

Happy hunting, Ozi.
