Member Since: February 2005 Posts: 11 Send Message	Hi, does anyone know how I could find out if my Gt grandmother died in World War 2, would her details be in the GRO? Thanks in advance. Thankyou for the help. I have searched for my gt. grandmother for 13 years and I'm no further forward it's like she just disappeared! It doesn't help that her name could have been Jones. I have searched GRO from 1942 (last known alive) to 2004, I have also searched for her daughters. Once again thanks

	All deaths should be on GRO index. Some civilian war deaths are on CWGC(google)
