Can anybody point me in the right direction for this one. A friend has asked me if I can find any info on his grandfather. He was born in Tallinnm, Estonia 21.9.1927. I think he was 16 when he and a cousin escaped the country on foot, taking nearly a year. He married Doreen Gibbs in 1953. Any help would be appreciated.
His name and address appear here for some reason in the London Gazette but dont know what it is for.
Have you tried googling the name as there is stuff in another language

His name appears in the London Gazette as he was given his British Nationality in 1973.
You can ask for the naturalisation record here and have to fill out a form

Edna, i could kiss you, Thank You sooo much for your help, this info means so much to my sons friend. They where both in Afgan together and he met a lot of Estonia's out there, which made him think about his past, the info that i have passed on to him has had him in tears, thank you, so much
Glad to have been of help Tracy and hope he can go on to learn even more of his background.
