Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 15 March , 2019 Share Posted 15 March , 2019 Just because the remaining 10 don't have a 'J' in the name on the card doesn't prove that any of them couldn't be your man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milner Posted 17 March , 2019 Share Posted 17 March , 2019 (edited) Try the absent voters list for Hull. It will probably show the service number you require. Forum member Joseph has a copy. Try emailing him. Edited 17 March , 2019 by Milner Spelling mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
