Hi Doedoe
I don't think anyone has a 1940 Directory, I could be wrong.
The closest we have is 1938..
Mrs Harriet McEntergart teacher of music, 26 Hazelton Rd Lpool 14.
Wm McEntegarte...30 Windsor Rd Old Swan, no occupation.

How can people just disappear?

Post by dickiesam »

Hello Doedoe,
You asked
how can people just disappear?


Remember the time that was in it, as we say here. Many people did just literally disappear during the Blitz years if their body was never found or identified. My mother's two brothers were killed on the same night, but in different locations, in the first week of May 1941.

Only one was ever found and identified. His death is in the GRO Index. The other was never found or identified. If his body had been found but not identified the death would appear towards the end of the GRO Index under Unidentified with an estimated age and whether male or female.
So, because there was no identifiable body, my mother's brother became one of the 'disappeared'.

I understand that while many of the Casualty Lists for that time are in the Archives, the actual Missing Lists are themselves missing.

There is a [national] volume 'Civilians Died...' kept in the Picton Library near the desk*, where the entries are arranged by borough.
*when I last saw it.

Civilian victims of WW2 should be in the records of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
They are online:

where the search does not allow much manoeuvre, but different spellings may give a result.

I put in MCENTERGART into marriages on LancashireBMD and thenasked it for soundex. It produced some revealing results of what I would definitely suspect are various spellings of this name possibly coming from MCTAGGART and various varoations to MCENTAGART. I'm being a bit vague here as they could be people who are still living. So have a play and see if that helps.

I'm trying to imagine MCTAGGART with a broad accent and I reckon it's a possibility.
