  • Ancestry Civilian War Dead WW2

    These have gone online today and to quote Ancestry:-
    “These volumes contain the Roll of Honour of those civilians, citizens of the Commonwealth and Empire, who were killed in the United Kingdom by enemy action during the 1939–1945 War, while engaged in household or in business activities, or at their posts as members of the Civil Defence Services. Their graves are scattered throughout the country.”
    While most of these records are for the United Kingdom, they do include civilian deaths from around the world, including many lost at sea.

      I think these are the same as on the CWGC website but it is useful to see the images of the books. You can see more easily the occasions when a whole family was killed as in the case of Mabel and Sydney EAST and two of their grown children. I happen to know (One Name Study) that there was another teenage child of this family who was elsewhere on the night of the bombing and survived. How sad.
