Alans Posted 22 August , 2008 Share Posted 22 August , 2008 Hi George Catlow of Blackburn, served in WW1 and hailed from Blackburn is there any means of establishing where these George's are from? This is the grandfather of a friend of mine, however she does not know what regiment!!! so I thought I'd attempt to find out. I've checked the CWGC and no George's are listed as dead so this leaves me with 5 possibles! george Catlow's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punjab612 Posted 23 August , 2008 Share Posted 23 August , 2008 The only George Catlow in the 'burnt records' series on Ancestry is the one who served in theEast Lancs reg't. His dmob home address is in BArnoldswick and his NOK is Robert with an address in Guide. Is this your man? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
