I've seen that passenger list before but I ruled it out because that Charles Donahue's wife is listed as with him, as far as I know Charles and Nellie split and Nellie went to South Rhodesia in 1950... could be a possibility if I saw the electoral roll for that year for that house

Hi Please can anyone who is on Ancestry or any other war site who can access deaths for American Soldiers please look up a man who was in ww2
The person is:

Name: CHARLES DONAHUE
Born: c1910
Parents: Dennis DONAHUE and Jane DONAHUE (nee CONROY)
Place of Birth: NEBRASKA
Service number: 36345827
Enlisted: 5 Jun 1942 - Illinois, USA
Married: 4 Dec 1942 - The Register Office, Repton, Derbyshire, England
Spouse - Nellie Louisa BRENKLEY
Divorced - ?
Re-married - ?
Death - ?

If anyone can find his death record or any other information please let me know. I would be really great full to you. I don't know whether he died in the war or he survived but if anyone can find out when he died or anything else about him that would be a great help.

The records I have are the Marriage Certificate to Nellie Louisa Brenkley and his army service record from when he enlisted
