gnr.ktrha Posted 17 April , 2010 Share Posted 17 April , 2010 Hello, Do any pals have a copy of the above book? If you do, can you check it to see what the 2 entries for A. Jeffrey say. I am hoping one is for a chap from Wimbledon, who served with the Seaforth highlanders and was Killed in July 1916. Many thanks, Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apwright Posted 17 April , 2010 Share Posted 17 April , 2010 Assume you mean the 2 entries for A. JeffERy? One is Sjt, 17th Lancers, awarded DCM, survived, from Peckham. Other is Pte, RAOC, survived, also from Peckham. Sorry not to be more help! Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnr.ktrha Posted 17 April , 2010 Author Share Posted 17 April , 2010 Thanks Grant, The chap I am researching was Arthur Frederick Jeffrey, from Wimbledon. He was killed on the 28th July 1915 with the 5th Seaforths. I have found all the usual items ie, CWGC, SDGW, SNWM etc. Also his entry in his local newspaper. I was just checking to see what else is out there. Many thanks for checking that for me, Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnr.ktrha Posted 18 April , 2010 Author Share Posted 18 April , 2010 Hello Grant, Thank you very much for the above information. I have a copy of the 1901 Census, but had not seen the 1911 information. Do you know what address they were at in 1911? I wonder if William is his brother? Many thanks, Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantowi Posted 18 April , 2010 Share Posted 18 April , 2010 Sorry, thought I had posted it 84 Haydons Road, Wimbledon, S W London Maybe some one can look on ancestry and see if they are brothers. In post #5 you say 1915. CWGC say 1916 (as did you in #1 - sorry didnt check that one) Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnr.ktrha Posted 19 April , 2010 Author Share Posted 19 April , 2010 Hello, Yes, it was 1916 when he died, he went to the front in 1915! I have checked and it is not his brother. Thanks for supplying their address. The All Saints' War Memorial gives it as number 86, I wonder if they moved, or that the Memorial is incorrect.

grantowi Posted 19 April , 2010 Share Posted 19 April , 2010 In 1911, No 86 is occupied by the Flower family Also living at No 84 is a family called Tipping, 2 Parents, 1 son Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
