Lyn, there is a series of books entitled "Royal Air Force Bomber Command Losses", each covering a separate year and giving some information on the circumstances of individual losses. Expensive to buy but I have seen them in libraries.

Bit of a mystery here for you Lyn, nothing new there then, remember Enos? LOL.

Dennis G Holyoak b, 1923 parents Howard Ralph Holyoak/Thurza(Thirza) M Temple
siblings
Ronald H 1920 married Marjorie Thomas
Marjorie M 1921 may have married PatrickCooper

the mystery!

Howard Ralph Holyoak birth on census and death given as 1894.
in 1901 with mother Mery Tacy and stepfather Thomas Tacy
Mary Holyoak married thomas Tacy in 1899.
In 1891 in Cromwell Street Mary Holyoak is a widow living with her parents John and Bessie Allen she has 2 children William 3,Annie 1 but her husband William who she married in 1888 died in
December 1890 so who is Howards father (1894)
I have used all variations for birth Allen/Holyoak/Tacy and Howard Ralph/Howard R /Howard between 1893/1895 but found no registration.

Thurza Temple (registered Thirza Mary) is the daughter of Isaac Temple / Eunice Martha Rebecca Warren known as Martha.

Does this help at all. Alberta
