Our Vinnicombe had been called up and went to India in 1945 according to his military record

The Vinnicombe was listed as Margaret’s husband on her original death certificate. There’s also a military number which I traced his military records. Seems he was called up in 1945 and was sent to India. He returned in 1947

It doesn't say as she died in hospital, I would likely have to check the electoral roll for Robert Vinnicombe for where he was before being called up in 1945 and was shipped off to India, I doubt Margaret was on the eroll but ir's worth a look.

I have ordered the certificate to see

Thanks We are trying to solve a mystery - the lady, Edith Gladys Jeffery, was living with my grandfather but was not our grandmother. We are trying to figure out when the real grandmother left. My grandfather wasn't on the electoral roll apparently, but her name might be, so i could search...

I don't recall there being stairs to go up to a upstairs flat, they must have been on the ground floor.

Is that list from the 1939 register? or is it like an electoral roll?

Antony Sperduti

the address was 4 overton Place, my grandparents lived there. My grandad was italian so I dont think he would be on the list but Edith Gladys Jeffery was my grandmother
