Tracie ...the CWGC shows:

William George CAVE was 'son of Charles Cave'.

Hi Trac, if you find them on the CWGC website

http://www.cwgc.org/

you are able to download whatever iformation they have about them, and proabably photos of the cemeteries in which they are buried or at least commemorated.

Although they are both commemorated on UK memorials, it may not be that they died on UK soil, so there will probably not be death certificates for them.

FYI

UK death certificates do not give the names of the parents, except in the case of small children, when the mother's name might be given.

I cannot find any record of the births or of their marriage on the ancestry London Archive records


It might be the only thing left for you to do is to order that marriage certificate that I just posted ................ that would give you the names of the two fathers and their occupations.



sylvia

To all of you thankyou will order today the puzzle is getting easy err thanks to all that helped

Just to say, Trac, I agree with Sylvia's suggestion. Just so you don't think it is one mad woman on a mission!

There are two of us.

The most helpfull 2 mad women on a mission i have had the pleasure to get help from

Thank you Trac!



Just wait till I catch up with that other mad woman though!!

Hi Tracie

Thanks for you info - I need to get back to you at some point cuz I have a different set up at top of tree.

This William George is son of a Charles William Cave and might be from henrietta Blishen.
Edward Walter claims to be son of Charles but cannot get any further info. Have you got EWC's marriage cert to gertie?

Cheers
Lynda

Contrary to MMeg's info, if they died in the UK there will be a regular d.cert for them, and if they died outside the UK there will be a war deaths d.cert for them - it's listed in the GRO's "overseas" mob, and FMP has the index ref #s.

These war d.certs are even less informative than a typical English d.cert. Here the Scottish war deaths contain the same info as English ones, and you can see an example of the former via the link near the end of the page at:
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/content/help/index.aspx?r=554&404

mgnv, I did not say there would be no death cert for them.

I said:

Although they are both commemorated on UK memorials, it may not be that they died on UK soil, so there will probably not be death certificates for them.

My great uncle was lost at sea, but he is commemorated at Portsmouth.

There is no death cert anywhere. Nothing at FMP. Nothing anywhere else.

Hi thankyou for the help i will check at home tonite i am pretty sure i have there marriage certificate I have that many certificates i have shares in the GRO i realy do thankyou for the help i have been diging on this one for soooo long Thankyou from TRacie
