Im afraid I cant see a man with this name on the ancestry pension records which is a shame so lets try to work backwards through the info you have to find him on census etc.

Can you answer the above questions please about the info you have for definite?

Val, I think we need to start from scratch here. Frederick Henry George was your grandfather and you know he served in WW1?


What definite information have you got about him please? You have your parents birth cert which gives him as the father and who did he marry? When was his eldest child born and where? Do you have a marriage certificate for him?

Val, if you havent got ancestry, gives us the chaps name and we can look to see if he has a pension record on there.

Do you mean for WW1? If so, you need to go to the documentsonline site.
