lolponty@aol.com Posted 24 May , 2015 Share Posted 24 May , 2015 Hello PB, Would be very grateful if you could do a look up for me, I'm looking for William Hampson born 1895, Bootle, Liverpool but lived in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, says he was 2/1st Lancashire Hussars but believed to have served on Western Front, cannot find any information about him. Somewhere along the line 17th Hussars has been mentioned but think this maybe 17th Battallion in C Squadron. Any help welcome as we do not have any other information about him. Many thanks, Lorraine Harris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolponty@aol.com Posted 24 June , 2015 Share Posted 24 June , 2015 Hi Geoff, Thanks very much for taking the time to send the photos and newspaper report. Sadly, it is not the man we're looking for. His parents both died in 1907, he and his siblings went to live with their maternal grandmother, living close-by in Bootle, Liverpool, as shown in 1911 census. In July, 1914, he was living in Burslem, Staffordshire, when he married Ethel Leese, they had a son born here in 1915, then twin girls in 1917. We know he survived the war and had another daughter in 1924, still living in Burslem. I have gradually managed to whittle down the long list of William Hampson's (no middle name), for whom there are records but still have a list of over 20 W or William Hampson and no closer to finding him. He is definately believed to have served on the Western Front and gives his twin girls the middle names of Ypres and Lorraine. He states on the birth cert of his twins that he is in the 2/1st Lancashire Hussars, his occupation he gives as boot repairer. Unfortunately, that's as much as we know about his service record. The 2/1st Hussars, I believe were a reserve force for the 1/1st Hussars, the 2/1st Hussars went first to Scotland but I think that he may have been transferred to the 1/1st Hussars, some of whom went to France in 1915. I'm still trying to make more sense of it but failing miserably, any help greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your response, sorry for delay in reply but I only just picked it up. Lorraine.

pbrydon Posted 8 November , 2016 Share Posted 8 November , 2016 I am sorry, none of the men mentioned in the last two threads are shown on the copy of the nominal roll that I have but there will be many men who served with the unit who are not included in that roll.

wpf1958 Posted 30 April , 2017 Share Posted 30 April , 2017 I am researching Captain Thomas Geoffrey Rawstorne who died on 31st July 17 and is buried in Bard Cottage. I have his pre-war family information but am interested in any information that there may be available relating to his war service. I cannot find his Medal Card either. Anything would be most helpful. Wilhelm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpf1958 Posted 30 April , 2017 Share Posted 30 April , 2017 I am researching Captain Thomas Geoffrey Rawstorne, 1st/1st Lancashire Hussars, who died on Tuesday 31st July 1917 and is buried in Bard Cottage. I have details of his family, Eton, etc but I cannot find his Medal Card or very much relating to his war service. Has anyone any information that may help give me some pointers?

Wilhelm Officer's medals had to be applied for - if the family didn't then there would be no medal index card. Are you sure on the name and date of death - I can't see an obvious entry in the soldiers effects records for him. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss002d6252 Posted 30 April , 2017 Share Posted 30 April , 2017 There's certainly medal card in existence (or there was, if you're looking on Ancestry some are either missing or badly indexed) -http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D5267149 Medal roll entry on Ancestry - http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=IWOServiceMedalAwardRolls&h=216793&tid=&pid=&usePUB=true&_phsrc=rDz24&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&rhSource=1543 Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpf1958 Posted 1 May , 2017 Share Posted 1 May , 2017 Thanks Craig. No medal card appears to exist on Ancestry, I have put in a number of variations on his name but to no avail. Wilhelm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilhelm If the ancestry one is not available then the only fallback for the card is the single sided copy with the national archives. I suspect it will give at least some extra information, officers cards usually do. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbrydon Posted 1 May , 2017 Share Posted 1 May , 2017 There are some mentions of the officer in the typed draft history I have. I hope the attached are legible. I think the reference to Lieut. G.R. Rawstorne in the 1914 list of officers is a typo. P.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have only just joined the Forum, 1.Dec.'17 and saw your post. Have also been researching T.G.R. on/off for last twenty years, but with some recent resurgence. Now have 100+ pages on him and am in contact with modern family members. Have almost come to the end of my research until I saw your post. Picked up a couple of things to further explore now. What is your interest in T.G.R.? He came from a very well-to-do family in my area and is on many local memorials along with others in Wales, Oxford and Berks. Not found much of actual duties during the war but lots about life in general. Perhaps we could exchange? Big Makk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpf1958 Posted 2 December , 2017 Share Posted 2 December , 2017 Hi Makk Thank you for the post, most interesting. I am writing a book on Bard Cottage and a number of those buried in the cemetery. I have got some information on both him and his service but would be most happy to exchange information. My email is: wpf1958@gmail.com Look forward to getting in contact with you.
