OLD ROBIN HOOD Posted 12 June , 2019 Share Posted 12 June , 2019 Greetings from a very wet Sherwood Forest Not so much a long shot this time but still a problem. I have a death plaque to 20855 Pte William Bramwell 11th Notts & Derby Regt. K.I.A. 1/7/16. I bought it in Mansfield , Notts many years ago . I believe that Pte Bramwell came from that area. My difficulty is that I cant find a M.I.C or medal roll for him. There must be one but it is eluding me. Can any of you good folk help?

Langdon Posted 12 June , 2019 Share Posted 12 June , 2019 (edited) Thought you might be interested to see him in the 1911 Census. This after finding him in Ancestry's UK, WWI Pension Ledgers and Index Cards with Harriet E Daynes marked there as his mother (instead of landlady) - Name:William Bramwell Age in 1911:29 Estimated birth year:abt 1882 Relation to Head:Boarder Gender:Male Birth Place:Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England Civil Parish:Mansfield Search Photos:Search for 'Mansfield' in the UK City, Town and Village Photos collection County/Island:Nottinghamshire Country:England Street address:6 Bradden St Mansfield Notts Marital status:Single Occupation:Miner Hewer Registration district:Mansfield Registration District Number:428 Sub-registration district:Mansfield ED, institution, or vessel:4 Piece:20336 Household Members: NameAge Samuel Friend Daynes 54 Elizabeth Daynes 55 Friend Samuel Daynes 26 Robert Daynes 19 May Daynes 15 Winnie Burton 4 William Bramwell 29 Pretty confident that this is your man as the actual document has his birth as "Mansfield Woodhouse" which is the same as on his SDGW Ancestry record..
