Jack Walter OSBORN

1914 - 1999  (85 years)

 Set As Default Person

• Name	Jack Walter OSBORN
  Relationship	with Teresa Ann GOATHAM
  Born	10 Feb 1914	Thanet Reg Dist, Kent, England
  	GRO ref: Osborn, Jack W q1 1914 mother's maiden name: Goatham, Thanet RD 2a 1975; GRO online index shows middle name as Walter Actual date from death registration index and 1939 register
  Gender	Male
  Education	Central School for Boys, Margate, Kent, England
  	From a newspaper article when Jack was a prisoner of war in WW2 he attended the Pettman Central School, but would actually have been known as the Central School for Boys when he was there, as it was only renamed the Pettman Central School in 1938 (and that name did not last long, as the school did not reform after the war)..
  Residence	1939	98, Glencoe Road, Margate, Kent, England
  	With his wife and 1 others (entry closed as at 24 Dec 2016, presumably their child) (Ref: RG101/1756D/028/29 Letter Code: DIER)
  Residence	1939
  	Ice Company Clerk
  	From the 1939 register (appears to say 'Ice Coy Clerk' - I am guessing Coy was short for Company). An item in the Isle of Thanet Gazette when he was taken prisoner in WW2 confirms that before the war he was a clerk for a firm of ice manufacturers.
  Military Service	From 1940 to 1943
  	World War 2
  	Isle of Thanet Gazette 23rd Aril 1943 PRISONERS IN ITALY NEWS OF MARGATE SAPPERS Two Margate sappers who were reported missing in North Africa just over a month ago are now known to be prisoners of war in Italy. One is Sapper Jack Walter Osborn, Royal Engineer, of 98 Glencoe Road, Margate, whose wife received official news on Friday that he was a prisoner in Italian hands.  The next day she received a letter from him saying there was no need to worry, as the billets were quite good and he was receiving Red Cross parcels each week. Sapper Osborn, who is twenty-nine years of age, is the son of Mrs and the late Mr W.D.Osborn, of Westfield Road, Margate.  Joining the Army in 1940, he went abroad in November last year, after being trained in chemical warfare.  He is an old boy of Pettman Central School, and was employed as a clerk by a firm of ice manufacturers before the war.  He played football and cricket for his school and later for the Old Centrals Association and Margate Thursday FC.
