Hi Laura

Thanks for looking

Yes It was ww2. It wasn't til lit was too late that i realised you you only had WW1. Sorry

Jane

for ww2 records, you have to send off to the MOD and have permission of the veteran or next of kin. these are the details you will need to request an application form:
Army Personnel Centre
HQ Secretariat
Historical Disclosures
Mail Point 400
Kentigern House
65 Brown Street
Glasgow
G2 8EX
Tel: 0845 600 9663, option 1, then option 3
hope this is useful, Laura xx

Thanks Laura

I'm not sure whether I will be able to do this as I am not sure who would be next of kin. The only child still a live would not give us permission. She had a big fall out with her father before he died.
Would My Mum qualify?. She was his Sons wife. I am the Grandaughter.

Thanks for your help

Jane

I'm sure you would qualify as you are a blood relative. I'm not entirely sure, but you can definitely request and application form, I expect the instructions will be made clear on there.
Good luck!
Laura xx

Thanks Laura

I will give it a go.

Jane

Laura,

Thank you for all that information on the `Browell`
family.
wow, lovely.

Hi Laura

Just wondered if you had been able to get any further with Lydia Hill?

Thanks

Nicki

Hi Laura

Thank you for your kind offer.

Please could you look for 3 brothers in ww1 service records. They are John Hall How c1894, Alfred How c1895 and Thomas Ellis Edward How 1898. John and Thomas born Durham, South Shields and Alfred born Norwich, Norfolk. Not even sure if they served so it's a bit of a long shot but they are about the right ages.

Much appreciated.

Julie
