About the information supplied
below:
The information has been carefully checked and extracted from ONS
indexes at the Family Record Centre, London (now closed). It has also
been compared against the information supplied by the CWGC and there
was at least one instance where the CWGC had the surname as SMITHERS
and not SMITHIES, as is listed by the ONS. However, when they have
been approached the CWGC have very kindly checked the entries against
their originals and changed their master database as necessary.
Most of the references listed below were found in the volumes in the
section marked Death Overseas: War Records at the FRC although some
individuals are included in the civilian deaths of the time. If you
apply for certificates, do ensure that the death is from Death Overseas:
War Records and not from the ordinary GRO listings.
| All refences coloured grey |
e.g. SMITHIES |
are to be found in the ordinary, i.e. the
Civilian, Indexes. |
The Quarter the person died in is supplied alongside the year of death
in these cases
Those people who lived in other countries - e.g. Australia - are not
included here as the references to their deaths are not available
in the U.K. If you have information about them, please email (see
footer) and I'd be happy to include it.
