    Hi,
    There's one on the commonwealth war grave commission site, which is free to use.


    Don't know if it's your man or not? Born c 1913, if he gave the correct age of course.

      There is a birth registration for Arnold Aspin born 1913 in Salford reg Dist. MMN Parkinson.

      I can't see one born c 1905, there's another one reg Blackburn 1911 (too early for MMN to be in the index.)

          According to Lancashire BMD, it seems the one registered in Blackburn in 1911 was MMN Graham,

          Do any of these seem likely?

            Thomas ASPIN aged 5 in Salford in 1911 census was with parents James Henry and Mary Alice, married 11 years.
            Marriage of James Henry ASPIN in Salford Q3 1900 - one of 2 possible spouses was Alice PARKINSON
            Therefore looks likely that Thomas ASPIN born 1905 and Arnold ASPIN born 1913 were brothers.

            There were other siblings on 1911 census:
            William aged 10, Martha Alice aged 8, James aged 7, Nellie aged 3, Harold aged 1 and Robert aged 4 (but wonder as he was listed last whether age should have been 4 months).

            Update - no I looked at birth index and Robert ASPIN was born 1906 so was indeed 4 years old, just listed out of sequence.

                Here's a possible record for a WW2 death. It's the only Arnold or A. Aspin.

                Death at the age of 30 in 1943 gives dob of 1913 which was found by Judith.
