Hello, can anyone help me please?

I am trying to discover what happened to my gr Uncle, Martin Andrew George Butler, who was born February 1916, in the Woolwich/Plumstead area.

All I know is that he was fostered at a young age by Violet Mabel Dunn, but then disappeared of all trace.

I am not sure whether he went to war, or moved away. I have checked death records, but can't find anything to say he died.

He may be in a home for the elderly. Who knows!

If anyone can help as to how I can search records for either type of home that would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

Paul

This would be his birth record. so Violet was probably related.

Did you follow up on any of the replies given in your previous thread?

There's a selection of Butler/Dunn marriages.

The best thing to do would be to get his birth cert and find out who his parents were. Then we can begin to hopefully help you put the pieces together.

Paul please can you stick to one thread

Thank you all so very much for the information.

I do have information already relating to Martin's siblings, parents and grand parent etc however I have been unable to find out what happened to him once he went to a children's home. It's a mystery!

Paul I transferred this info to the other one.
