wandererpaul Posted 14 December , 2016 Share Posted 14 December , 2016 If anyone is on ancestry, take a look at this record for a "John Delamere". It may not be correct (soldier born in Southampton), but this soldier deserted in March 1916. Army Service Corps (same as his father), Army Pay Corps and Royal Warwicks Regt. A possible for the J Delamare on the Soldier Effects records? Someone to dismiss at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A possible for the J Delamare on the Soldier Effects records? Someone to dismiss at least. Some similarities, but some differences. Treated in Dublin, but not for the usual sort of 'war wound'. And claims to be 35, born in Southampton but with no Next of Kin. Previous service with the Dorsets and Warwicks Regiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 14 December , 2016 Author Share Posted 14 December , 2016 (edited) I had considered him initially Dai, but like yourself found too many things that did not click. How about the unfindable officer son of Benjamin Poyntz Young in the article below? He died in Ocober 1914. I tried on CWGC (I assumed he was a officer, but I am open unassume in an instant), and ODGW without success. If ye can help I would be very grateful. Kind regards. Tom. Here the family are in the Census in 1901. http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Mayo/Knocknalower/Carnhill/1581218/ Edited 14 December , 2016 by museumtom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 14 December , 2016 Author Share Posted 14 December , 2016 That's enough for now lads and lassies, take the rest of the night off. If ye only knew, if ye only knew......I have a donkey load of these unfindables. Irritating ones that wiggle their finger at you, taunting you saying 'You aint gonna find me!' So I stick them into the unfindables folder. I am sure you could write a creepy movie script with this! I am in your debt lads and lassies, a pair of willing hands, that's what makes the world go round. Thank you again. Kind regards. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The elite crew on this page should be able to find the unfindable, as they have done in the past. Do you know something? I don't think there were any that gave ye any real difficulty. This shows the incredible experience and ability of the pals of this forum, thank you very much indeed for all your help. Kindest regards. Tom.

Think it's a monster already ? - wait until the day you don't post and see what we do then. It's like the morning crossword - perhaps a section in the Times or Guardian ?
