Hi. Looking for information starting from my grandad John Mckeown born in Audenshaw, Lancashire Dec 1921, died July 1996. He lived most of his life in Hyde and had two sons Shaun (my dad) and Kevin, was married to Doreen Hayes in 1949. During WW2 he served in the RAF as a gunner in the lancaster bomber. He had a brother called Joseph and his father was also called John Mckeown. This is all the info I have. Looking for info about his mum and dad. Any help would be great.

Many thanks

Thanks found them, still cant find a date of birth for John Mckeown. My dad thinks he could have been born in Ireland so this could complicate things

Is this still a Brickwall, or have you solved it?
