will search papers for that - you never know, even if it is an advert - nice to see something of a connection.
Different era - but here is an example of some things I found for my gr gr grandfather http://www.familytree.chatandthat.co...17-blacksmith/Carolyn

Well I've found 3 addresses now for Gerald Carroll these are on the vehicle registrations and a bank book.
Is there anyway to check old records on who owned a property. I've also come across solicitor letters dated back to 1957 for a purchase of a house. Plus a letter to my husbands nan from the same solicitors in 1963 after Gerald deaths for them to defend her against the claim for possession.

that was worth a rummage. You can try also searching Ancestry and FMP (in keywords - not that reliable - but always worth a try) and newspapers for the addresses, you might find phone book entry/reg of elector or anything really. Another family member might suddenly pop up with them that you never knew existed.Carolyn

There is also the military records if you don't already have them. Charges apply and they can take a long time.
I note that the Croydon memorial has Gerald as belonging to RAMC which I believe to be an error.. Have you seen that Memorial. Centre of Croydon next to Town Hall.

Its amazing what comes out of a rummage. It's often said on here you only need one snippet as Carolyn will testify to one of her newspaper finds.

Will look at them links now. Had a day off from it all as feel like I'm bashing my head against a brick wall. I've a feeling its going to be a very long search to find Gerald.
My husband does have a copy of the dispatches his nan did give them to him, I've never seen them though.

his beginning certainly sounds elusive. Maybe the next census will provide some answers, now less than a year away hopefully.

also it may be worth getting his second marriage cert - see if he puts same fathers name, and also Elizabeths death cert.
She didn't seem to have a will it was just admin, for £1.50 that might be worth getting it could have another address/person on there.Carolyn

https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/ for wills, you need to select the right year band in tab at top. they are £1.50.
If they say administration then there is no will (sorry I don't know technical terms - someone will correct me hopefully), just a form on who is sorting out the probate. But if you have nothing it may give you something.
I can't remember if there was one now.Carolyn

An administration means there was no valid will found at the time, so obtaining the admin will just usually be the person granted probate. Can be next of kin or a lawyer for example.
though that doesn't mean a will won't be found later, i have an example of that. The probate process had to happen all over again.

Something for the back burner for when you get your certs thru. I have been looking at Goodwick, Pembrokeshire, Wales where John Kinsella lived prior to appearing in Willesden. He was b Wexford. His Will is in favour of his dau Catherine b Herefordwest reg.
I can see also an Elizabeth A Carroll marrying and living Pembrokeshire to a chap called Lewis T Williams. He dies 1934. Not seeing Elizabeth A in the area after 1935.
EDIT Elizabeth Carroll Williams dies 1937. Buried with William in Pembrokeshire
