nikki32 Posted 24 October , 2007 Share Posted 24 October , 2007 I was wondering if you would be able to help me at all - I am having big problems trying to find information on my grandad in the first world war. Could you could have a look and see if he did serve in the war? His name was Francis Harold Halliday - born 1896 in Portishead near Bristol. I would really REALLY appreciate your help!

The National Roll only covers England so I don't think Charles Minihan would be in it. But I did look and there were no Minihan's mentioned. Sorry Ian. Susan.

eyes Posted 19 November , 2007 Share Posted 19 November , 2007 Hi Susan Would there be anything regarding a: Thomas Dodd Driver RFA #1493 Many thanks in advance, Colin Hello Susan On Nov 18 I had a notification of a PM from you, according to my e mail in-box, but I can find nothing anywhere beyond that notification. Not sure what went wrong. I have some ferocious firewalls for other reasons but they should not have touched a message from you. Could you re-send or reply here please. Thanks and sorry for the trouble. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanhemmings Posted 21 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 21 November , 2007 Hello Colin, very strange. I cannot find anything either, but then again I have just had to delete lots of stuff out of my PM box, so its not to say I did not send a pm!!! going senile by the day. Anyway, the only thing i can think of is that whilst looking on ancestry i know there were a few Thomas Dodd records, but i am not sure where your main hails from and so could not take it any further. if you want to pm me with some or any details i will look for you. Kind regards to you Susan. editP: what a twerp - just noticed Thomas Dodd has a reg no. will be off to have a look now. edit again: sorry colin, cannot find anything under that reg no. may he have had a different one also? let me know if i can help any further.
