I don't remember being asked for NI number. The forms that I had were downloaded from the internet - don't remember where from. They were actually filled in a year or so ago and only sent last week! (My mother was next of kin and she wasn't sure how to go about it.) I suppose it is possible the forms have changed, but I doubt if it is necessary to have everything they ask for, just helpful. |

They do indeed take your word for it, but if you made a false decleration, and then someone later complains, you could be in trouble. That said, looking at it sensibly, if you are a relative, and not after the info for sinister purpose, in the very unlikely event that ever happens anyway, they'd pobably look at it very leniantly or barely bother at all in taking it further, they just have to cover themselves under data protection etc. |

Phew Carol, I was getting worried then because I have applied for my father's records, and all I remember being asked to send is a copy of his death certificate along with the kinship form. Was thinking I had missed something. |

Just to add as long as your mother in law has him named as her father on her birth cert she should be able to apply for them. When I enquired about my grandfathers they said my father either had to apply as his eldest child or apply to have them released to me. They told me it had to be my father as his eldest child. If the eldest child is dead then the second child has to apply. If there are no other children it would then be my eldest sister as his first born grandchild. |

When I applied for my father's army records, I supplied his death certificate, my birth certificate and my marriage certificate. |

I think you might need a copy of his death certificate. |

If he is named on your MIL birth certificate and can produce a copy,then this will quallify,,as a NOK,and has equal rights as another children he may have later had,,, |

Hi, seeking advice, we wanted to order my mother in law's fathers army records, we have his roll number. the problem is that she never knew her father, her parents were married and divorced in very few years (early 1940s) and she was a baby when they parted. He died in 1984 (I have traced this through BMD) and we do not know if he has any further children or reles. |
