re: Theodore walter smith.....thanks for trying....mind you....could have been wandsworth. maureen

Madeline, thanks for looking for Reginald H. Bristow anyway. Kate.

Dear Madeline, A bit of a long shot, as they were all East End boys (Bethnal Green, Stepney, West Ham) McCarthy brothers; Cornelius (born c.1885) Alfred (1893) David (1894) John (perhaps 1897) William (1898) Alphonse (1899) Maurice (1901) Just out of interest, I hope I am not repeating questions; firstly is your list only enlisted MEN (ie no nurses etc) & secondly, is it just an army roll? Thanks for taking the time, LIZ

Hi Madeline, Thank you for the offer. I was hoping you may be able to help me with my husbands grandfather Dudley Blake Prior born June 1893 Edmonton. regards Janis (Australia)

Hi Madeline Great offer!! Can you try please Alfred Edward Berry, Living in Islington or Holloway. (possibly born Ireland) Albert Drake, Living in Islington or Holloway (born Keith, Banff) many thanks Sylvia

Thank you for the offer. Could you look up Walter St Oswald Charles POPE (Hackney). He may have droped the St in his name. He joined the London Regiment and then the Royal Engineers and Royal Signal Corps. Thank you Gill

Could you see if my grandfather Andrew Hogg Ross is on there. Lived in the Kings Cross area of London (Islington part). Many thanks. Jean x.

thanks for the info in FG Bentley. Not sure if he is mine, will need to do some more checking. The address - do you know if that is supposed to be his home address?? Thanks again Carol

Hello again Madeline Thanks for answering my question sorry i got i did not answer before i would be really pleased if you could put the Edward Jones you found i think one of them must be him.Hopefully as i have been searching for info of my grandad for ages i have his death and marriage but not birth as you say there are alot of Edward Joneses.Look forward to hearing Regards Christine

Sorry Madeline just looked at message i sent to you about my grandad Edward Jones and realised i did not put which i wanted to look at i think its either Camberwell or Peckham so will choose Peckham PLEASE Regards Christine

Hi Madeline Could you kindly look up 2 for me please. James Henry Saunders est bith 1886 Albert Harper possibly Gunner RHA Albert had son brn Mar 1919 and above shown on birth Cert although I cannot find any trace of him marrying. The mother remarried 3 months after the death of Albert although casnt find death either. Hoping this might help. Many thanks Sandra

Madeline, Thank you for your very kind offer of look-ups. May I ask please that you have a look for the surname SANDY from Brixton, Balham, Streatham or Tooting ... there shouldn't be many SANDYs, so I'd be interested in anyone you find. Very many thanks. Regs Jane

Thanks for your kind offer Madeline, If you are still doing look ups please could you look for Percy Leaonard Stevens. In 1901 he was living in Streatham but I know he also lived in Chelsea in the 20's. Be very grateful if you find anything. Claire xx

sorry its took me a while to reply today but i have been doing the crosswords in the sunday papers. McCarthy Boys quite a few but all from Camberwell and south Lambeth , sorry Dudley Blake Prior, only from Peckham and Battersea Alfred Edward Berry, are from Westminster, E Kilburn and Paddington Albert Drake, there is one A Drake who was a war hero, he received the victoria cross but was from Stockwell Hales Boys sorry none from Sudbury William Henry French, sorry not listed

Walter Oswald Pope, all are from Wandsworth and Battersea sorry Andrew Hogg Ross, all from South London sorry Edward Jones, will write down all from Peckham and Camberwell shortly Sandy, only one from West Ealing , will write what there is if you want Percy Leo Stevens, all from West and North London James Henry Saunders, there is a J H Saunders from Bowes Park (not too sure which area this is ) in the Middlesex Regt, you didnt say which area yours are from. Albert Harper , none sorry

Hi Madelin Thank you for the look up. Could I be cheeky and ask you to look for Robert Harper Sydenham area as this is whom my grandmothers marriage certificate states she married maybe mistake was on birth cert. Thankyou Sandra

Elizabeth Leach, in answer to your question, the lists seem to be men and women whatever they did during the war. When i bought these CDs i was under the understanding that everyone that served in the first world war from the London area was listed on these CDs but how wrong i was, i havent been able to find any of my relatives on them. Even some very common names there isnt any ( my grandfather, Hughes) Still the men and women on here have to be someones ancestors so it might help someone Regards Madeline

Thanks for looking for me. Jean x.

Hi Madeline The Alfred Edward Berry from Paddington looks hopeful (he was married there) Can you send me the details please many thanks Sylvia
