Woody Posted 18 March , 2010 Share Posted 18 March , 2010 I have a complete set of copies of the Nottinghamshire Absent Voters Lists from 1918. I am happy to do look ups for individuals by area or address. Also for anyone researching areas of Notts, I am happy to provide scans or copies. There are many Notts and Derbys men on the lists.

stevem49 Posted 18 March , 2010 Share Posted 18 March , 2010 Woody When you have a list of every 9th and 1st Bn man with addresses etc, I will get back to you Are the lists widely available or were you just lucky? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted 18 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 18 March , 2010 Woody When you have a list of every 9th and 1st Bn man with addresses etc, I will get back to you Are the lists widely available or were you just lucky? Steve Steve - copied them from the Notts CC archives - at great expense! - There are 1261 sheets of A4 in total... If enough people are interested, I will transcribe all the N & D men and put them in a spreadsheet - good project! Perhaps other N&D forum members might post their interest? My main interest is the 7th Battalion as my great granddad was Pte 2171 Samuel Wood. Cheers Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevem49 Posted 19 March , 2010 Share Posted 19 March , 2010 Gary Must have kept you busy for a while with that amount of sheets. Actually I had a man today who is not on the N&D medal rolls but his attestation has 9th Bn. He enlisted in Mansfield Daniel White who was 22 on 24/10/1914 when he enlisted. I would be obliged if you could check for him. He is a mystery! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted 19 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 19 March , 2010 Steve Have searched throught the Absent Voters Lists for Mansfield and no joy - sorry. 1911 Census also drew a blank for Mansfield. Did find on the first few pages John Robt Metheringham 18621 - Chapel Lane Fishpool (now Ravenshead) 9th N&D also at the same address Benjamin 251901 Dvr 7th Res Brid Bordon BFA TF and William 52461 Gnr 13th Hv Batt GA Salonica Edwin Herrod 306371 45 Carnarvon Rd Huthwaite 9th N&D Albert Stendall 2 North Street 235183 B Coy 9th N&D Clarence Girling 8 Corporation Street Mansfield 43821 Sgt 9th N&D Sorry couldn't be of further help re Daniel White Cheers Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody Posted 19 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 19 March , 2010 Is Leonard Bocking there! Sorry but I cannot see him at all, re-read the lists 3 times. There are a couple of Lucans.... If you want the Woodhouse lists - happy to copy and send to you. Cheers Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Hesketh Posted 19 March , 2010 Share Posted 19 March , 2010 I'm sure Anthony Bagshaw would be interested. On a serious note though, a lot of 'my' Tibshelf men will probably be on the list as many were living in Huthwaite and Teversal. I'll have to dig some names out some time if you'd be willing.

stevem49 Posted 20 March , 2010 Share Posted 20 March , 2010 I think Daniel White could be another Leonard Bocking! . He has an enlistment page and then seems to vanish. Gary - Many thanks for looking and the finding the other men. John Robert Metheringham was Killed in Action on 10 October 1918 and is commemorated on the Vis-En-Artois memorial Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted 20 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 20 March , 2010 I am hoping to get all the Derbyshire Lists next week also - might take some doing as the archive seems a little reluctant to let me take copies....

stevem49 Posted 22 March , 2010 Share Posted 22 March , 2010 I must admit to not knowing who has wriiten all of the histories. I have copies of - 1st/2nd Bn which I got from N&M press. 9th Bn 10th Bn by Lt Hoyte. 12th Bn - Cliff Housley 15th Bn David Langley A Lack of Offensive Spirit by Alan Macdonald has 46th Div, so the Notts and Derby Brigade. There must be more (and I may have some of them!) I would appreciate copies of 9th Bn and 1st Bn men if that would be OK. http://www.ypressalient.co.uk/ The website has my email address.

I have phoned them - not going to be easy they don't allow any cameras ! Also from an earlier email they sent me "I am afraid that due to the binding on electoral registers, we are unable to photocopy them as this may cause damage to the volumes. It may be possible for us to scan from the volumes but this would be to be assessed by staff on duty in the search room, who will be happy to check the suitability for you" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick ODwyer Posted 25 March , 2010 Share Posted 25 March , 2010 Dear Woody This is a great offer. As there may be a number could I just ask if that you spot any member of the 14th or 20th Hussars (or 5th Reserve Cavalry Regiment) I would love to hear of them. Sometimes the men have no medals and so i don't know they served. Thanks Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
