susanhemmings Posted 11 May , 2006 Author Share Posted 11 May , 2006 Bob, I am no expert at this but I think someone more knowledgeable than I on the forum said that people actually paid to have their names entered. So, its no surprise to me that I cannot find my grandad - I do not think he was affluent enough. Then again, who was. As Paul rightly says it lists women and all kinds of info. Someone else pointed out that they thought that some of it was made up (could be true - i really don't know) Perhaps Dick Flory will know more. Or probably anyone else. But, I do think you have to bear in mind that even though someone came from a certain area it does not necessarily follow that they will be found in the volume for that area. I suppose that is why they have some sort of index as a pointer. I dont suppose I have been much help. But Bob, there are so many people on this forum with far greater nouse than I have so put a posting - someone will give you the answer you want. Paul, yes, forgot that - you are quite right. Thanks for the reminder. Susan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Anderson Posted 24 May , 2006 Share Posted 24 May , 2006 Hi Susan, If you are still offering lookups could you try this one, 12159 Pte William Anderson, Gordon Highlanders from Aberdeenshire. From previous lookups there don't appear to be many "Jocks" but you never know. Thanks in advance, Donny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanhemmings Posted 24 May , 2006 Author Share Posted 24 May , 2006 Donny, have looked in index - found 13 references to a W Anderson, WC, WH and WJ Anderson looked up 11 fo them - am afraid there is no trace. I do not have two of the volumes they mention: volume 9 page 3 (volume 9 covers the bradford area) or volume 12 page 253 (volume 12 covers bedfordshire area). sorry susan.

JOSTURM Posted 29 June , 2006 Share Posted 29 June , 2006 Darren, The National Roll (Index) mainly lists men who survived the Great War (having said that I cannot find my own grandad in it!). Perhaps if you post this in "soldiers" section stebie may answer you query. The fellows on here are so knowledgeable. Hope you find what you want. Susan. Hi Susan, I'm the 'Murphy's Register' look ups man, if you've seen my thread. Do you have anything on: 2Lt Ernest Hicks 2Lt William George Percy 2Lt George Bertrand Jubb 2Lt Stephen John Butler Sgt George Frederick W.
