Kenneth Keys' death notice
Kenneth Keys' probate entry
Mr. W.P. Richardson writes:
"As I was born 1 year less 1 week after D-day, I am hugely conscious of the debt I owe.
I have checked my 'tree' and Kenneth and I had great, great grandparents in common. Technically we would be 3rd cousins.
I found the list of those who were killed around D-day time particularly moving as it included a cousin of my father who was lost when the Boadicea went down. It was literally two days ago that I made contact with his daughter, who he never saw.
But, moving on, I have attached a couple of items about Kenneth:
The first is the memorial details at Bayeaux, and the second is his probate record.
I also have a copy of his record of baptism at St Nicholas, Gosforth. He was baptised on 18th October 1923."
HMS Quebec was a "stone frigate" - combined training centre at Inveraray between 1940 and 1946.
Kenneth Keys is remembered at Tynemouth on T36.01, and at Jesmond on J1.04, and J1.18
