His military stuff has never shown up on Ancestory, but i can have another look. Maybe that's the bit you pay for? My Mum knows where he served and such like, would be very interesting to get hold of actual records if they exsist.
We did ot through the MOD website, can't exactly remember how, as we did it during lockdown, we were put on hold for a couple of years, then after about 3 years they replied stating they were only giving out digitalised information and the records we wanted weren't digitalised at that time. We had to give them as much info as possible, as in birth certificate, death certificate, if there was no birth certificate then they wanted DOB, the big thing they wanted to make it easier for them was his army number, which fortunately we had. We had such a wait because of the circumstances of lockdown and digitalisation. I believe the wait now is 3-12 months after they've received the relative information they require.
Marnin' Egg on toast, walk the dog, go and see my old dear, help my bro put a new shower in and then I'm off to an evening farmer's market thing tonight Good event, I've done it for a few years now. It's not quite a mini festival, but it's got live music, street food, traders, a bar and just a nice family friendly vibe. It's on a farm, set up on the top of the banks of a river, lots of space for the kids to run around whilst Mum and Dad can have a drink and a bite to eat. Posh area too, lots of yachty types around and one of those 'old money' kind of places where everybody is reasonably wealthy and some are stinking rich. Which bodes well for me selling them stuff.
Saving Private Ryan was WWII mate ... ...one of the other brothers was an army Chaplain - is buried in the British forces cemetery in Cyprus ...
Just picked up a hire curtesy car while mine is getting fixed after a bird pranged me last week. The irony? They have given me the same car as she drove into the back of me in, a Renault Capture. Crappy little girl car, I've not driven anything as poky for years. It's just not right.
