information found and posted on your other thread has him born in Stalybridge, Lancashire.


Please do not post more than 1 thread on the same topic ........ it is against the T&Cs of GR, as well as causing duplication of research by we the helpers.

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

Bother indeed, how rude to post in two places a minute apart and not even bother to watch either thread to see that people were duplicating effort like this ... and the trouble I went to, reading through pages of the images of the military record and posting details ...

I think I am right in saying that William was born in 1873 in Radnorshire and was discharged from the Army in July 1914 after 21 years service.
