stuart rowles Posted 15 June , 2022 Share Posted 15 June , 2022 Would anyone be able and willing to check this list for me at Shropshire Archives, Castle Gates, Shewsbury. I am seeking any men with the surname ROWLES. Any help would be very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart rowles Posted 15 June , 2022 Author Share Posted 15 June , 2022 I have just had a response this morning from the Shrewsbury Archive. While they do not have the 1918 list they do hold the 1919 list. If I was closer I would look myself but I live in Devon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 15 June , 2022 Share Posted 15 June , 2022 That's interesting. Is it just Shrewsbury, or all of Shropshire? Perhaps you would send the details to Chris Baker so that he can update his LLT website. Every AVL unearthed can potentially help positively identify thousands of Great War soldiers, by matching their service numbers to an address. Great find by the way.

stuart rowles Posted 15 June , 2022 Author Share Posted 15 June , 2022 The honest answer is I don't know. I only enquired about Shrewsury and they sent a message saying it was available for 1919. I guess when somebody has taken a look we will have more information. Regards STUART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hold the AVL for the Parliamentary County of Salop Oswestry Div Wrekin Div Shrewsbury Div Ludlow Div Each with >5K names. I got copies (1918 ones) years ago and details were passed on for inclusion on the list. Stuart I'll root out the names (if any) in the Shrewsbury Div and let you know when done.

Hywyn Posted 15 June , 2022 Share Posted 15 June , 2022 I have just noticed you specify 1919. You've covered the 1918 ones? As it happens I have 1918 and 1919 for Shrewsbury Div but only 1918 for the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart rowles Posted 15 June , 2022 Author Share Posted 15 June , 2022 I'll take 1918 and 1919 if I can get them. I didn't know the 1918 was available. STUART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hywyn Posted 16 June , 2022 Share Posted 16 June , 2022 No ROWLES in Shrewsbury Div 1918 or 1919. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
