That ties in with the man we have records for - 6 children, 1 born during the war (post #12)

It does look that way Craig. It all makes sense with "Elizabeth Taylor" now.

I totally forgot I had posted on here... total goldfish brain here. It's a good job I had notifications turned on for @'s. I took a break from research for a bit.

 

So I found out that my Great Grandad Joshua was married twice, first to Emma Smith, then to my Grandad's Mum, Elizabeth Taylor, I also found out not all of the children from Emma were Joshua's. Joshua also received medals, it's been really interesting.

 

@Capricorn68 My Mum is Carol. Thanks for the info I do know about the people you've named though because Mum's told me about them If you can give me some info about Leslie and Clarice and any other members of the Boswell family (older members), I would be really grateful. Do you know if Leslie and Grandad had another sibling? When I check the census Grandad's (Thomas (Tom) Boswell) name and one other person's record has been closed on it.

 

Does anyone have any idea how I can find information on my Uncle, his name was Colin Boswell, he was in the army, and was in Salisbury, Wiltshire at the time of his death in around 1966, he was only 21, from what I've been told it was some sort of car accident (he was knocked over), but I don't know, plus he was either buried or cremated in Salisbury, I have tried searching but I seem to be drawing blanks.
