  • Notes 
    • John William was in the Royal Air Force based at Catterick, Yorkshire at the time of his marriage in 1938. A newspaper article reporting on his marriage also mentions that John William had a “narrow escape from death in the Quetta earthquake.” (Melton Mowbray Times & Vale of Belvoir Gazette, 13 May 1938. The Quetta earthquake occurred on 31 May 1935 in the early hours of the morning, Quetta being in an area now part of Pakistan, close to the border with southern Afghanistan. “ A quarter of the Cantonment area was destroyed, with military equipment and the Royal Air Force garrison suffering serious damage”. (Wikipedia, “1935 Quetta earthquake” accessed 06 Feb 2025).
