I do sincerely hope Private George Eliassen of the West Yorkshire Regiment survived the war.

Ah how very very sad :-(

PRIVATE
GEORGE ELIASSEN
WEST YORKSHIRE REGIMENT (PRINCE OF WALES'S OWN)
DIED ON 27 SEPTEMBER 1915 AGE UNKNOWN
LOOS MEMORIAL

PAS DE CALAIS FRANCE

SERVICE NO. 13522

I shall add this brave man to my tree.......does any on know his birth?

He'll no doubt be on the Medal Roll I guess?

http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D3452340

(you need to search now with Army Number on Ancestry, Find My Past or Genes)

Also to look for his Birth...(see names on YorksBMD index link, going from 1901 posted earlier, then check for Deaths, might not be as 'George'). Then go to below, you can always 'play' with surname, or search el*

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

All part of research, takes time each family, lots to check, lots of places to search, never ends!...(steady and slow, as they say!)


(never forget the wonder of 'google' search...(brings below!)

(will leave you to find his Birth now, add here if you can't)

Alas I telephoned the Hull Daily News and they said they didn't have the photo any more of George Eliassen.

I located the newspaper articles here for George Eliassen, still featured as lost in this paper-

Hull Daily Mail East Riding of Yorkshire, England
4 Feb 1919

No photos sadly but I see he got 3 medals which i can see from his medal roll.

Still no idea when he born???

Managed to get George Eliassen's parents marriage license.

That narrows down his birth a bit. Interesting to see George's dad is listed as a mariner and Elias his dad appears to have a different surname......both carpenters.......haha I wonder if they built any longboats :-)

(did you not check on below for Births?, you can use 'Soundex' option)

haha how splendid Odin! What a fabulously Viking name :-)

Right so we have Madgelene, Odin, my great grandmother Matilda and George.......George being the least Viking sounding name :-)

Odin was 'George'...

Chris :)

(as below, posted earlier, think you might be 'whizzing' a bit, and not seeing everything, lol)

http://ww1hull.org.uk/index.php/streets-people-came-from/NORFOLKSTREET/7779-eliassen

Omg totally missed that. George is Odin!!! Who knew ?

I did a search for this and came up with a blank so I can only assume the date for the photo is out?

03 December 1915 - Hull Daily Mail - Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire,

(photo of George)

(Newspaper access from Find My Past, Genes, or below, all need subscriptions)

(well they come up on above, have a look, you have the option to filter by Newspaper Title, Year, Month, Day range. Newspapers are such a valuable source to family history, for all sorts of reasons, well worth investing in.
And there is probably more to be found if you spend the time, using different keywords for searching.


To be honest don't know how you would find anything on Genes version of them, can't see any options to filter, looks hard going!, also, don't think they are working properly, seems to throw 'no results' all the time, frustrating I'd say!, Very, lol)
