Raster Scanning Posted 25 August , 2003 Share Posted 25 August , 2003 Stu This is what I enjoy about the forum, I am glad to have been of help. I already checked Arrowsmith and I am afraid he is not listed. Research into the National Roll has not been done in any depth as far as I am aware and I am not aware of the ref numbers significance I am afraid. Best wishes. John.

Northern Soul Posted 25 August , 2003 Share Posted 25 August , 2003 Dave, Can I trouble you to look up the following Manchester names for me? William A. Baker, Machine Gun Corps (d. 16th July 1918) Myles Mason, K.O.R.L.R. (d. 21st April 1915) John Mellon Hodgson, K.L.R. (d. 30th March 1918) Cheers. Andy.

Annette Burgoyne Posted 25 August , 2003 Share Posted 25 August , 2003 Hi Dave Would it be too much work to look up any K.S.L.I. lads, I know there were a lot from London area killed with the Regular Battalions. I do not want to ask too much, so if there are lots do not worry. Regards Annette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROONAERT Posted 25 August , 2003 Author Share Posted 25 August , 2003 Stu. I believe that you can obtain (printed) copies from the N & MP (about £30 per volume if memory serves me correctly). Andy. Sorry, but I'm afraid that another blank has been drawn (I even looked in the Salford volume to make sure) Annette. Bit of a mammouth task there! The CD isn't searchable and is practically an electronic copy, page by page, of the original volume. It is possible, but would take a long time. However, if you can throw ,say 25 names or so my way (preferably in alphabetical order), I could always see what we come up with. (might find some others in between!)

MartinWills Posted 25 August , 2003 Share Posted 25 August , 2003 Stu (and others), As well as the Naval and Military reprints of the entire series (in so far as it was published) the CDs are also available from archive books for a number of the volumes - take a look at http://www.rod-neep.co.uk/acatalog/Archive...ks_War_165.html The site is teeming with genealogical (and other) items as well as these war volumes.

Martin This is where I got mine from, and can highly recommend them for quality and value. One of the advantages in having them in this format is that you can save them onto your harddrive and it makes looking up the names far easier than having to plough through the pages of a book(I haven't even had to move when looking up any of the names on this thread!).

stu Posted 25 August , 2003 Share Posted 25 August , 2003 Hi Martin, Thanks,I'll look into that. In the meantime you don't happen to have the Salford/Manchester edtions,I'm looking for H.Mottershead,16th Lancs Fus(2nd Salford Pals). I would be very grateful for any info you might find. Many thanks. Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROONAERT Posted 26 August , 2003 Author Share Posted 26 August , 2003 Stu. No H.Mottersheads in either the Salford or Manchester volumes. (If it's any consolation, I've only ever found one out of the people that I've been researching in the whole series! ) Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annette Burgoyne Posted 26 August , 2003 Share Posted 26 August , 2003 Thanks Dave I will do that, I'll try and find a section of Regt. No.'s that I know are men from London or Manchester or one of the other areas covered by your CD. I am only after those who were not killed. Thanks Annette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanh Posted 26 August , 2003 Share Posted 26 August , 2003 Alan. I've found 6 "possibilities". Do you have any other info (middle names, parts of addresses, regiment, etc.)? Dave. Dave All I know was that, in 1901 he was living at 2 Carmarthen St Islington. Thanks Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyspiller Posted 26 September , 2003 Share Posted 26 September , 2003 Dave Do you have any mentions of the guys listed below. Many thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROONAERT Posted 26 September , 2003 Author Share Posted 26 September , 2003 Andy. I know it may be a bit of a stupid question, but is it the London volumes that you want me to look in? Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyspiller Posted 27 September , 2003 Share Posted 27 September , 2003 Dave Apologies. All the Spillers lived in Ludgate Circus EC4. Does that mean that they are in the London vols or is it done by Regimental location DWR, Vics etc. Regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROONAERT Posted 27 September , 2003 Author Share Posted 27 September , 2003 Andy. The volumes are usually arranged about where the soldier lived ,rather than regimentally. I've just looked in my 3 London volumes and only found one person with the name Spiller.Unfortunately, he's not one of the ones that you list. However I am 2 volumes short for London, so they may appear in one of those that I'm missing. Sorry I can't help, Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnD Posted 23 May , 2004 Share Posted 23 May , 2004 Hi Dave, Would it be possible for you to look in your London volumes for my grandfather William Mansell RN His address given in 1918 as 45 Douglas Street,Kent (which I am told was in Deptford at that time) Many thanks, Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROONAERT Posted 23 May , 2004 Author Share Posted 23 May , 2004 Sorry, Ann. He's not mentioned in any of the volumes that I have. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Wills Posted 4 October , 2004 Share Posted 4 October , 2004 Hello Dave, Could you kindly do a lookup for me from your Manchester volume please: J Norman HUMPHREYS, whose address in 1941 was 3 Denver Drive, Stockport Road, Timperley, ALTRICHAM. Thanks Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Kate Sorry Kate. Only 3 Humphreys listed, and these are E.N., H.V. and W. Humphreys. There is a "J.HUMPHRIES" listed , of the LF's, but I doubt this is your man. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help, Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
