Thank you very much George & Shirley for all that information.
I am going down the Isabella Pharaon route. Did she meet George Percival in
Egypt & did they marry here in 1940? Did wives go out to their husbands when
serving abroad.?
Thanks Shirley for that birth record for Isabelle Sythes, Chippenham.
Chippenham ties in with Michael J., Simon John (son?) & Deborah L (daughter?)
I'd been thinking was Isabella from Egypt.
Thanks again for all your help
