museumtom Posted 10 May , 2019 Author Share Posted 10 May , 2019 Thanks Craig, a great bit of research. With your info I was able to find him on FMP but as you say only up to April 1914. I don't find him on the MIC's, that might indicate he did not have war service. I would not have been able to find him without your help Craig, thank you very much for all your help. Kind regards.

museumtom Posted 10 May , 2019 Author Share Posted 10 May , 2019 You guys are the best research team in the world, well done. How do you do that? Who would have thought that the spelling on the death cert could be incorrect? Lateral thinking I suppose? Again lads a smashing piece of research. Thank you very much.

museumtom Posted 10 May , 2019 Author Share Posted 10 May , 2019 Thank for those links Craig, I only found one. I was hoping that the vital sheet was there, perhaps it lies somewhere else? if at all?
