Shared note	His tree can be found in FTM 2017 file "Lomas", on ancestry "Lomas of Brington" https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/tree/120950135/family Walter Lomas was born on 10 Mar 1920 in Derby. He died on 18 Feb 2002 in Derby. Curiously, he was born and died at the same place, the Nightingale Hospice, 117A London Road, Derby, DE1 2QS. He was cremated at Markeaton Crematorium, Derby. As a youngster, Walter was a very good sportsman and could have, in other times, become a professional footballer. Looking through old school magazines from St James School in Derby, he was compared to Sammy Crooks, a legendary winger of that time. In 1931, he won a scholarship to Bemrose School in Derby, and, looking through those magazines, year after year he won the 100 and 220 yards sprint, was captain of the football team, vice-captain of the cricket team. Various top teams of the day, including Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers, were shown the door by his father: being a footballer was just too risky a occupation in the 30s. So he went to work for the Post Office, before volunteering for the RAF in 1940. He spent the last 3 years of the war in India, fortunately having more battles with the heat, mosquitoes and cricketing opponents than with the Japanese. Before going to India, he married Muriel Goodall in 1943. Back from the war, he eventually joined the Ministry of Labour in Derby, a job that he hated. After he retired in 1980, he continued with his life-long hobby of collecting postcards, and also added the hobby of researching his family name, and he and Muriel toured all over England doing this.
