Find Ancestors

Hi

According to the 1939 register, the above is living with an ancestor of mine, address Southend Road, Sheffield, Yorkshire

He gives his DOB as 12 Dec 1901, occupation, plasterer and he is single

I have no idea who this man is. He could be a lodger but there was talk of my ancestor having a 'man' on the side while her husband was in an institution

I've had a look on Ancestry but can't seem to pin him down

Any help, thank you

Can't see anything to help Ginns..........

Thanks Dea

I wonder if lied about his age or even his name?

Looked briefly at WW11 deaths but not seeing anything there either

Just found this



Name:John William Sterland

Birth Date:12 Dec 1909

Date of Registration:May 1989

Age at Death:79

Registration district:Sheffield

Inferred County:Yorkshire

Volume:3

Page:1636

and this


Name:John Sterland

Birth Date:12 Dec 1909

Service:1939-1945

Medal Issued/Claimed:1946-2002

Discharge Number:R.263094

There's also a John Sterland born 1902 on the 1939 in Derbyshire, the only births +/- those years are these:

Births Dec 1900
Sterland John Charles Derby 7b 523

Births Sep 1901
STERLAND John Henry Chesterfield 7b 791

Births Mar 1904
STERLAND John Chesterfield 7b 769

There are numerous Derbyshire records to cover those on FindMyPast

That could well be a 'possible'

Births Mar 1910 (>99%)
STERLAND John William Ecclesall B. 9c 452

Thank you guys

I think the 1909 Sheffield one must be him

Looked at that service record at NA and there is nothing much to see :-(

Maybe....

Thanks Mistycat, I just saw that too

I am thinking this 'is' the man who was having an affair with my ancestor

Not much else to find but glad I found him with her on the 1939 register
