Max Posted 22 March , 2007 Share Posted 22 March , 2007 Hello Bernie, and welcome to the forum. Are you able to post the photo here? His cap ribbon may give some clue. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhound Posted 22 March , 2007 Share Posted 22 March , 2007 The only one found by searching is James Bernard Gribbin, born Bootle 18/3/1883. If this is him, you can download his service papers here for £3.50. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documen...p;resultcount=1 If this isn't him, you may find him by a search using spelling variations.

Greyhound Posted 22 March , 2007 Share Posted 22 March , 2007 Bernie, do you have any idea where the family lived? If they were from the north-west of England, then James Bernard may be your uncle, but we don't have a way of knowing for sure without a bit more detail. There is a limit of 100kb for posting pictures. If your photo is larger than this, you'll need to reduce the size to post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 22 March , 2007 Share Posted 22 March , 2007 You probably need to do a little family history research first then. We could help if you supply a little information. What was you Grandfather's name? Where did he live? Do you know his parents names? Steve. EDIT: Sorry Grace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhound Posted 22 March , 2007 Share Posted 22 March , 2007 No need to apologise, Steve! I'm off to the pub now anyway, so will leave it in your much more capable hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
