Stanislaw Guzowski

[MarkT]

Hello

I'm trying to track down the birth certificate and place of birth for my father, Stanislaw Guzowski. He was born in Poland (not sure of the exact area) on 4 June 1913, and died in the UK in 1969. His father was Wladislaw Guzowski. He also had a brother named Ludwik.

I would be grateful for any help/advice.

Many thanks

Do you know in which voivodship he was born? This information would be very helpful.

[MarkT]

Unfortunately not. My late mother said he was from Krakow, but I am not 100% certain.

[AdamML]

I'll search for him in Małopolskie voivodship. I would write you here if I'll find him.

[MarkT]

Thank you so much.

[AdamML]

What about his mother?

[MarkT]

I'm afraid I don't have any details about Stanislaw's mother.

[AdamML]

He was married in UK or in Poland? It's difficult to find him, we have not many information about him.

[AdamML]

Anyway, ask someone who had known Stanisław (maybe his old friend or your aunt?). I know, he was born nearly 100 years ago, but someone can remember something important.

[MarkT]

He was married in Watford, UK in 1959 (before he met my mother).

[MarkT]

Unfortunately there is no-one here in the UK that I can ask about him. Thank you anyway for trying to help.

[AdamML]

Wait... In 1913 Poland wasn't independent. Do you know in which country Stanisław was born (Austria-Hungary, Russia, Germany)?

[MarkT]

I believe in Krakow, which back then was in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

I found marriage of Władysław Guziński and Stanisława Kołos in 1907, so 6 years before Stanisław was born. They're his parents! I see, that Władysław had three wifes:

1. Anna Kostuch (1892)

2. Petronella Skimina (1894)

3. Stanisława Kołos (1907)

Stanisław was born in 1913. Here is his family:

Parents: Władysław Guziński+Stanisława Kołos

Grandparents: Kazimierz Guziński+Wiktoria Niewolska and Ignacy Kołos+Marianna Dudek

They lived in Brzezie (10 kilometres away from Kraków)
