Name: Leslie Arthur Dyer
Birth Date: 8 Aug 1923
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1972
Age at Death: 49
Registration district: Cambridge
Inferred County: Cambridgeshire
Volume: 4a
Page: 650


His birth will be on freebmd.....................

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

Search using only the initial of his second forename.............the index will show the mother's maiden name, and registration district.

Using that info, you can search for siblings...............and possibly for the marriage of his parents.

Their marriage cert will tell you their ages.....and the names of their fathers, which will allow census searches to be started...............

Hi,

I am new to this board and wondered if anyone has any tips. I know my father was Leslie Arthur Dyer who died in Cambridge in 1972 when I was 4 so I don't really remember him.

Does anyone know how/where to look for such things as

His date of death and place of internment
His birth
Any relatives living or not possibly abroad

Many thanks

Helen
