Find Living Relatives

Looking for any living relatives of the above who was with my Grandfather when he died in Gallipoli in 1915.

Unless you know what his first name was, and when and where he was born, no-one can search for info

If you find those details, you can look for contacts yourself in 'search all trees'

Dont you know his christian name ?

As he was your grandfather then the child you are descended from will have his name on their birth cert surely??

he isnt listed on the CWGC site

It isn't his grandfather - '...who was with my Grandfather...'.

Re-reading it, I am not sure if this G. Fry actually died.
Where have you come by the name please?
Jan

Not sure if this is relevant! I assume you are sure of initial?

Name: Bertie Robert Fry
Residence: Hornchurch, Essex
Death Date: 4 Apr 1916
Death Location: Home
Enlistment Location: Ilford, Essex
Rank: Private
Regiment: Essex Regiment
Battalion: 4th Battalion
Number: 3472
Type of Casualty: Died
Theatre of War: Home

All I have is the heading on the letter he sent to my Grandmother as follows: Band Sergeant G Fry, (Late Corporal) 86 B Company, 1/4 Essex Regt. 161 Bridgade 54 Division, M.E. Force. No other clues.

Would add that he was with my grandfather when he was killed on the 22 August 1915. Can't be the one Jan suggested - he was already deceased.

There are WW1 records for a George Fry, Band Corporal (and temporary Sergeant) 4 Bn Essex Regiment on Ancestry. His address is given and wife is mentioned, but no name given!

Well done - but I can't see it! Can you copy & paste the link please?
What is the address?
Jan

Yes, well done, Annielaurie. A link to this information would be much appreciated. My main objective is to see if there are any living relatives of George Fry who might like to see copies of a couple of letters he wrote in 1915. I wonder if someone is research this family tree?
Roger

I think this is the George Fry that Annielaurie found
