Icare9, Hi,
A Roy N Searle’s birth was Registered in Wandsworth, London, in Q1 1922 (Vol 1d Page 1218) – Mother’s Maiden Surname was Ireland. A Roy Norman Searle Enlists (RAFVR, 1393826) at Euston, London, in Aug 1940. This same Roy Norman Searle is Commissioned (RAFVR 132621) from LAC on 9 Oct 42 – presumably having just got his ‘Wings’? He’s Promoted Flt Lt on 9 Oct 44 (fits with his Commissioning date). There are only(!!!) 23 Searle’s in the Wandsworth BT Directory – should narrow your search slightly (LOL). The Death of a Roy Norman Searle is Registered in Bournemouth in Nov 2002 (Reg Dist 4271B, B30D, Entry No 053) – the DoB fits with Q1 1922 (above).
Over to you!
HTH
