Hi Everyone

John Cullen was born on 13th April 1926, to the parents of Mildred Joyce Cullen (nee Cozens) who married William Thomas Cullen in 1924.

John was born in the sub district of Godalming, Surrey. I have John's birth cert and I already have his parents marriage cert, John would be about 86xyrs old now.

I have for a long time been trying to trace John and to see if he is still living or whether he got married and had children who maybe still living.

I am really stuck on this and I can't get any further.

Johns Mother died in 1990, and I think it was in Surry South West hope this info helps.

Thank you very much.

My cousin married a Cullen. Sadly she died last year but I am still in touch with her husband. I don't think his family were from the Godalming, Surrey area but I am happy to email him and see if he knows anything about your Cullens. He goes away quite a lot so if he isn't around at the moment you might have to wait a few days for an answer. I'll let you know if I hear from him.

Hi Vera Suffolk and Everyone who has replied.

I really don't know if he emigrated but John's Father William Cullen was born in Aldershot Hampshire approx 1900/1901, and Williams Father was Benjamin George Cullen who appears on William and Mildred's marriage cert.

Yes that would be great if you e-mailed please as we never know could possibly be some help. Thank you very much.

Hi All

Even though I have John's birth cert, which is correct.

I have just had another look on here for Johns's birth record and it says he was registered in Guildford Surrey and and Guildford and Godalming are next door to each other.

Hope this info helps and thank you very much from all the people on here trying to help me, it seems John has disappeared into thin air hope we will be able to find further info. I still cannot find a death for him.

The reason I asked whether he might have emigrated is because of these two found on the passenger lists. If a death can't be found in the UK, maybe this line of thought is a possibility

Hi Sue

How do I go about that because I have no idea and thank you very much for helping me.

This is a really hard one and I am not sure if one of those John Cullen is the same man that I am looking for but who knows. Its a chance.

Sue C Report 6 May 2012 19:23

I really don't know if you are ever going to be able to find him, and I don't know what you can do next.

Strange things happen....emigration, perhaps a name change for some reason...

Hello Darkie, what research have you done into marriages and deaths for John?

Sleepy

Sleepy Report 7 May 2012 13:52

Hi Marie Celeste and Everyone that is trying to help me, John's Cullen's Father was William Cullen and William was born approx 1900/01 in Aldershot, and Mildred Joyce Cozens, Mildred was b.1903/04 in Petersfield Hampshire, William's Father is Benjamin George Cullen and I am not sure where he was born but Benjamin was actually living at 25 Lansdowne Road Aldershot Hampshire in 1924.

John's parents William and Mildred got married on 3rd September 1924, at Holy Trinity Church in the parish of Aldershot in the county of Southampton.

At the time Mildred was actually living at the Infirmary Farnham Surrey so she must have been working there.

Hope this further info helps.

Hi Darkie, what I was meaning was have you searched all BMD records?

Sleepy

Sleepy Report 7 May 2012 14:03

Sorry Marie Celeste

I misunderstood the message: I have searched Freebmd, on GR site, in Findmypast and Ancestry. I am only a member of GR only.

Good Evening

All I can do now is try and get John's Mother's death cert to see who the informant was on there in case it could have been John's name if he was still living.

I don't know if this will help but I hope so.

Thank you very much everyone for helping me.
