the page nos are just filing refs for the paperwork that went with the awards.

if you google each medal it will tell you what each were for,

Many WW1 records were lost in WW2 bombings . It may be that his medal card is the only thing that survives .

Hello everyone, after months of research I have finally got hold of his birth certificate, and building my family tree.

I am in need of help again as stuck again on Military records:

William Stewart Hawthorn Born 1889 Mochrum Wigtownshire Scotland, William ended up living in Cheshire and I am wondering if he moved through the Military? And why he lost contact with his family on the farm in Scotland.

I found this Medal Military card, but can’t find any other records to go with it, although I am sure it does belong to my William, can you please help with the information below, you might understand better than I do?

The local library have sent a lovely reply to say they are looking into the above address, in the meantime after talking to relation we are now thinking William (Stewart?) Hawthorn November? 1889 may have been from Scotland, oh gee that’s another search altogether. Mary-Anne Xx :-S

Will do thank you Xx :-)

Good luck with it - let us know how you get on!

Thank you everyone, will send an email off now :-D

If you contact the library local to that address they should be able to do a look up for you on the electoral roll for that year and tell you who was living there - only those of voting age will show.

Can't find anything on a James Hawthorn. There is a John Hawthorn married to a Mary O'Hare in 1888 which would fit with William's birth above. He was a Dock Labourer from Ireland. Sometimes Irish people changed their names so he could possibly be a James by 1923.
