Hi Pals

Sooner I can afford my own CD's the better!!

Would anyone kindly look the following up please? Interested in any extra info available - birth places, family etc etc. I have CWGC & have identified sets of brothers....

Pte 200992 Bysouth FJ KIA 20/7/1917, 5th Beds

Pte 201034 Bysouth H KIA 2/11/1917, 5th Beds

Pte 203179 Felks (Felkes) Thomas KIA 20/7/1917, 5th Beds

Pte 33000 Felks (Felkes) S KIA 22/3/1918, 2nd Beds

Pte 201248 Hipgrave William KIA 27/7/1917 5th Beds

Cpl 4/6992 Hipgrave J KIa 2/12/1914 2nd Beds att' 6th Northants (Is this right??? Surely the 6th Northants werent even trained by this date?)

Also, is this a 3rd brother? Pte 4/7005 Hipgrave frederick KIA 20/04/1915 1st Beds. 1st 2 are same mother (Elizabeth hipgrave, Roe Green Hatfield). Is frederick another lost son? Do hope not but thought better check.

Once again, many thanks all

Not much on SDGW.

Bysouth brothers both Enlisted Bedford; Resident Luton. Only 7 Bysouths in Soldiers section and no officers.

Thomas Felkes (with an 'e') and Sidney Felks (without an 'e') 33600 (note '6') both Born, Enlisted and Resident in Luton. Only one Felkes and one Felks listed in both sections.

William and John Hipgrave both Born in Hatfield, Herts; Enlisted and Resident in Hertford. Frederick also Born in Hatfield, Herts; Enlisted and Resident in Hertford.

John only shown as serving with 2nd Beds. Only 9 Hipgraves listed in both sections.

Thanks Dave

Sidney Felks in on CWGC as 33000, suppose its a simple typo? Happens I suppose!!

All useful info as it confirms a Census check is worthwhile, so many thanks to you!
