Sidney Reid 1914–1996 BIRTH 12 APR 1914 • Guildford, Surrey, United Kingdom DEATH DEC 1996 • South east Hampshire, Hampshire, England You will need a copy of his death cert when you apply for his service records England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007 Name: Sidney Reid Death Age: 82 Birth Date: 12 Apr 1914 Registration Date: Dec 1996 Registration district: South east Hampshire Inferred County: Hampshire Register Number: H44 District and Subdistrict: 5013 TD
Thanks for the responses . The family cannot confirm that he served . I am assuming he did because of his dob and the fact that he had one child in 1939 and the next in 1946 . There are several Sidney Reids serving in 1939 but no way of knowing if any of them are the one I am researching . I guess I will have to risk £30 to find out Clive
Its not a risk - its certainty - one way or the other If you have nothing on him, books he read, badges he kept, documents related to veteran assoc's he was a part of then his service records must be the way to go - if he was not in the military then your money will be refunded, so it will have only cost the price of a death cert, unless you already have one TD
