Barbara ..................


have you tried looking at member trees, to see if anyone has this guy???



You are very unlikely to find someone just passing by who does have personal knowledge ...............


I have estimated in the past that less than about 1% of GR members actually look at the Boards.



Go to Search at the top right

Click on it, then click on Search All Member Trees


If his name does appear .......... click on the name of the tree owner, and send a pm (personal message)



GR will then send an email to say contact is being made .......... if the member still has the same email as is on file with GR, then you have a chance of getting a response.





But it is important to see if you can find out whether Joseph actually married and have offspring before he died at the age of 25.


Do you know?

Thanks. Joseph George Page was not married prior to death but his girlfriend was pregnant and they planned to marry on his return. We do not know the girlfriend's name so I think the chances of finding information are very slim.

Unless you have her name then it's a dead end I think as he wont be named on the child's birth cert ,

Have you tried following up any if his family , descendents may be aware of his story and a name for his girlfriend

Re Joseph George Page, thanks for all the info. I agree it is a dead end but worth trying. I am going to close the thread. Happy hunting to all.
