Find Ancestors

Think we lost each other on the other thread so here goes again------can you please look for Claude Fred Clare born 1895 in London and his brother Harold Jack Clare born 1898 in Dalston London. They were the sons of Jesse and Beatrice Clare. Thanks.

Lesley
thank you very much for Albert Blake, that could be him.

Many thanks
Linda

CROWLY (Crowley)

As I thought, but looked anyway, nothing coming up for both of them. This is probably due to the fact that they would have been approx 58 in WW1 and as we know that is far to old to fight in the War at that time.

How about their Sons???

Sorry

Nothing in Pensions or Service records. Nothing that links with the Anglian Regiment - however there is one for the Norfolk Regiment (had links with the Anglian Regiment) in the Medal Rolls

Hi Lesley,

Please would you see if there is anything on

Many thanks

Thanks Lesley.

Nothing is coming up Online for him with that Regiment number. However they did change their regiment numbers at various stages and we have to rely on the transcribers putting everything in. So on another vein, do you know the year he was born, also where he was born & lived, and also his parents or wife's name. I will then do an extensive search for him.

Lesley

Thankyou Lesley

Kind Regards
Alan

Hi Tracy

With a name like Davies (and it being in Wales) its like looking for a needle in a haystack I'm afraid. With a common name you need much more information as I have to go into every record and search it manually.

Lesley
