Looking for Albert and Sylvia Philips ( nee Auty )


Recommended Posts

Re my thread - Frederick Auty KIA WW2. Anyone with a knowledge of Sylvia Auty, who believe to be Frederick Auty's daughter. The Free BMD site shows a marriage for Albert and Sylvia in 1947. Sylvia has posted a photo of her father on a site relating to the Parachute Regiment.

 

PM me please !

Looking at the time scale, I am probably looking for Fred's grandaughter !

Trying again with this post

Here's hoping I get a response !

I am still trying without success to contact descendants of Frederick Auty, my Dad's pal who was KIA in WW2

Anyone out there know any Auty named folks.

Fred was a Sheffield lad.

Hello there!

The memory is rusty, these days - but I'm sure we (five university students) lived next door to Albert & Sylvia in 1981-1983, on the corner of Tasker Rd and Mulehouse Rd (in Crookes) - they'd have been at #65 Mulehouse Rd.

They would then have been in their late 60s, early 70s, so must have long left us by now. Albert, although retired, ran an airport taxi business in a Leyland Sherpa minibus; he was very small, while Sylvia was an imposing lady, someone not to get on the wrong side of! They were both salt of the earth Sheffield folk - generous to a fault. I vaguely remember mention of a daughter, but don't recall ever meeting her?

Good evening Wessex Druid !

 

I have traced the last known address of Albert and Sylvia

I now believe Sylvia to have been the sister of Fred Auty

I am in contact with Fred's niece and hoping to meet her soon.

 

Thanks for your reply !
