Ronald Read born and who were his parents? Ronald married my aunt Mary Ford born 1918 one of ten children.
Ron as he was known was a soldier and served in many places including Malaya where sadly he was killed.

Can anyone please help me to find his origins?
Thank you
Bridget

Julie
Thanks for the swift reply. Unfortunately I have not been able to find a marriage fopr them but I do know that they were married. Mary ford is my mothers sister but unfortunatley that generation are all decesed and many of my cousins are as well as my mother was the youngest of 10 children and there were 9years between her and the 9th child.I will try ot find a marriage again but simply getting a bit frustrated at the moment

Thank you everyone for your help. I am amassed at the speed and efficient way you have all helped. With regard to his Army years I had a cousin now no longer able to help who gave me some info and then I searched the web and found an army site with all the info. This was then verifed by Army personnel who vist the graves of the fallen every 11.11.
