So, just to confirm, is this the family? |

Yes that is the family. Elizabeth is stated as being born Brighton in 1869 on the 1911, in 1901 born Brighton in 1860, 1891 born Brighton in 1861 (living with sister in 1891, 1901 and 1911). The 1871 census with her living at home states born Islington 1863. Her death certificate states she was 82 when she died in 1946 which makes her year of birth 1864. I found a birth record for an Elizabeth Dean in Islington in 1863. Not sure why she would have listed Brighton as her place of birth other than the possible connection to the Drury's of Brighton. It is definitely her though. |

Yay! RAF records have arrived at last although not a huge amount to go on. He enlisted in 1940 and was released in 1947. He was in 904 Suadron and later 461 Squadron and was an Aircraft Hand, occupation before the war was a Radio Service Engineer. Looks like he was stationed in UK only at Uxbridge, Aldershot, Pembrokeshire, Headley Down and Silchester. His address was 6 Alwyne Place, Islington, London and listed his next of kin as Mrs Mary Taylor (friend) of 20 St Mary's Grove, Islington. I checked google maps and the two roads run in to each other. George went AWOL on six occasions from what I could see and was under suspension too. He also received one years imprisonment with hard labour in 1946 presumably for being AWOL but I'm not sure. After coming out in 1947, he went in to the reserves until 1954. It lists him as single, no address updates or change in next of kin or anything. Says he was born in Vauxhall which is different to what we had thought - we thought he was born Islington. |

I've been looking on them too but couldn't find anything - annoying that there's a gap during the war. |
