Walter Charles Carr born 7th May 1886 ousegate Selby Yorkshire. Looking for any family information especially photos. He died in 1939 before I was born. Any idea where I may get any photos from his marriage in 1914 or from his days in the army 1914 to 1918 Royal Engineers or any relative descended from him who may have any photos.
Many thanks

David appears to have been an only child, so Walter's only legitimate descendants are from the following marriage

Marriages Mar 1951 (>99%)
CARR David W B MOUNTAIN Leeds 2c 632
MOUNTAIN Shirley CARR Leeds 2c 632

Walter's WW1 records do not appear to have survived.......along with 70% of all WW1 records. In any case, they would not have included a photo
