Message from a descendant[edit]

Hello, I am Albert James Enstone's grand-daughter (my mother June Enstone was his only daughter). I was very pleased to discover the Wikipedia page regarding his role as a WW1 ace pilot. I was able to add the year of his death and where he lived and died, but would really appreciate help to upload his photo taken during the war in his uniform.

Hi Nickie, I reviewed this and it should be usable, providing that the photographer is "unknown and cannot be ascertained by reasonable enquiry". Do any of your documents say who the author is, or is there any way you could find out? It'd also be great if you have any more specific information about the date it was taken. In the meantime I've added it to the article. Please post here. Thanks! Dcoetzee 18:17, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Derrick - thanks so much for doing this. I am currently on vacation in Greece but will check the original picture when I go back to Switzerland to see if there is any mention at the back. It was in my mother's personal album. Best regards, Nickie — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nickie Greenwood (talk • contribs) 19:50, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A later email

You may not remember me but I contacted you back in May 2011 regarding your Wikipedia postings regarding my grandfather, Albert James Enstone.

It took me a little while but I have now received his official death certificate confirming that he died on 4th October 1963 - see attached record which I obtained from the Registration District of Hemel Hempstead. I tired editing the page with this new information but the date of birth seems to be a hidden category and the captions date and place of birth have disappeared. Would you be able to update it based on the attached certificate ?

There is also a confusion about his date of birth as some websites such as http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/england/enstone.php and documents indicate 29 August 1895, whereas others including the Wikipedia page and National Maritime Museum say 25 August 1895. I cannot find his passport and unfortunately the death certificate does not give his date of birth. My 93 year old mother seems to remember that it was the 29th and so does my sister who found that date of 29 August in an old birthday notebook she kept.

Above quoted for informational purposes.
