HORSFALL Sydney [E_] Burton Bradford 9b 1[35]5
This is how it's been transcribed on FreeBMD and it's the only Sidney or Sydney with the right middle initial within a five year span. Fits for age with the death record.
I think the page number should be 135, though if you need the cert I wold suggest getting it checked.
Thanks for all that information I stumbled across this forum cannot remember how it has been fantastic and I am glad I did,eveyone has made me feel really welome and have been so helpful I would recommand it to anyone, everything I have asked as been asnwered and the information very very welcome. I will do MY best to help in any way I can.
I did find that Sidney Edward Horsfall was born March 3, 1914 in Bradford,Yorkshire. He was a member of the Royal Aero Club #18161 Tricketts Cross Farm in Ferndown Dorset, a farmer, and registered in the Bournemouth Flying Club October 5, 1939. That was the only ancestry record I could find for him. Hope this helps.
