Frank's is interesting:

It was actually registered from Reigate, Surrey, England on 17 July 1939 by his sister Kate Brenckley (must have been done by post). Kate states that both parents are now dead, and she remembers that when Frank was born she was told to keep quiet because mother was sick and we had a baby brother.

Wonder if he was joining Canadian Forces for WW2 and they found his birth hadn't been registered?

Had thank you pm from Malcolm. Would like Alice's siblings births. (Margee has already posted Alice's).

Hi All Thank you so much for your help I have so much information about Alice that I will be working out the best way forward.

She was a very private person and never alowed the family to know anything about her past so give yourselves a big pat on the back.

Malcolm, your offer in your opening post to look up records for canadian researchers implies you have access to Canadian records.

I presume therefore that you have Alice and her siblings birth records? If not, then let us know and I'll add them for you.

Things don't quite add up! :-S

Malcolm Sharpe says that Alice Maud Crowley (nee Giddin(g)s) married Percy Sharpe in 1946, and is his grandmother.

In 1946 she would have been 61 (and therefore past child-bearing age), so if she had any children with Percy then it must have been long before then.

I'm also struggling to find any marriage at any time between Percy Sharpe and an Alice Maud that fits the bill.

Malcolm, is one of Percy and Alice Maud's children your father? I'd suggest getting his birth certificate to see exactly what it says.

Got one as well:
Subject: Alice

Please stick to this post please removed the last one
Mall

Have had pm's from Malcolm:

"I think this is a record for Alice will check it out.
Thank you Mal"

Have explained about replying on here, and it seems the duplicate thread has been deleted.

Have sent Malcolm a pm explaining what to do.

In the meantime, I have this info from him:

"What info do you want on her Malcolm?

When did she come over to here?
I think she left Canada age 3 ish

Did she come with family?
I think Tom Giddings came with her not sure who else

Did any of her marriages take place over here?
Both took place in england "
.............

I think he wants to know more about her early life in Canada, and here, and more about her parents and siblings, but I am sure he will be along soon to tell you himself.
