Looking for family WWI medal sets.

[DJ222]

Hi all, 

If this type of post is not allowed please remove it. 
As the title states, I am looking for the whereabouts of my ancestor’s medal groups.

J.6397 Leading Seaman/Petty Officer Henry James Burnby R.N. I’m unsure what medals he should be awarded to. Either the 1914 or 1914-15 star and trio, as well as a Navy Long Service Medal. He enlisted in 1909 at the age of 15 and served until his death in 1931. - My great uncle.

28152 Farrier Quarter Master Sergeant Henry James Burnby, 10th (Prince of Wales’ Own) Royal Hussars. He should be awarded a Queens South Africa Medal (Inscription probably 2503 FQMS). I am unsure what WWI medals he should be awarded to. He served again with his old regiment in WWI, but he did not leave England.

Any help would be appreciated. Even if it is helping me to confirm what medals I am actually looking for (even if I never find them, I think a nice framed set would look good).

Thanks ever so much, Dan.

Edit as an afterthought, HJB sr. - my great great grandfather - served from 1886-1907 and then 1914-1917 with some time in India. (Would he have gotten a medal for this?

He qualified for the trio of 1914-15 Star, Victory Medal and British War Medal. These were issued to him when he was serving in HMS DIDO (for HMS ROCKET) in 1921/22. His LS & GC Medal and Gratuity  were awarded in March 1927 while serving in Portsmouth Naval Barracks (HMS VICTORY).
