Sinclair family

Posted by Gordon Harcus Hughes on 5/9/2021, 4:53 am

Looking for descendants of Philip Crawford Sinclair, 1914-1998, son of Philip Maclagan Sinclair and Flora Firth, and Phyllis Joan Wood, 1920-2009, daughter of Sydney Wood, born 1873 and Edith Barker, born 1883. Philip and Phyllis were married in Barnstaple in 1941 and I believe lived in Devon for many years. I am descended from William Firth, 1828-1906, and Crawford Harcus, 1841-1919, the parents of Flora Firth.

One son born Barnstaple 1942 according to freebmd
possible one born Thanet area 1944, daughters born Wharfedale 1948, and Colchester 1950
If you put in the births with parents surnames and mothers maiden name it comes up with a Sinclair Wood combination, giving those between 1942 and 1950 hope this helps

Thank you so much for your reply and information. These locations would work as I believe Philip Sinclair was a career soldier and all three later places are, or were, home to, or near, military camps.
You have given me much to work with, thanks again.

try looking on the 1939 census for parents, I could not find him, dont think military personnel are on it, as could not find my father on it.
