Hi Madeline, thanks for your kind offer. I would be really grateful if you could look up for me Henry Smith born 1891, and his brother in law, Thomas Wisbey born c1886, (killed in action 16/9/1916). Both were from the Camberwell area of South East London. Regards Gillian

Thank you for your help Madeline re Charles Guilford - much appreciated.

Madeline, Thank you so much for your time in having a look for Dudley Blake PRIOR. I am sorry I couldnt pin down where he was living at the time of enlistment. I cant even find his first marriage, nor the births of his two sons. The WH Prior Kennsington could be his uncle but I will not bother you in trying to trace that one, as I was really after Dudley. You have been most helpful, Thanks Janis (NSW Australia)
