Nigel Marshall Posted 25 March , 2007 Author Share Posted 25 March , 2007 Chris, Sorry, thats another blank I'm afraid. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOSTURM Posted 25 March , 2007 Share Posted 25 March , 2007 Well I finally got it to download and now it's working I thought I'd offer look ups. Lots of interesting stuff in it, and just to prove that I'm not a bad sort, your look up request doesn't have to have anything to do with the War! Nigel Nigel, do you have anything on: Edgar Percy Leheup Edward William Wilson Ruper Lyne Hancock Nunn Charles Godden Copper all ex-officers ww1.

Nigel Marshall Posted 27 March , 2007 Author Share Posted 27 March , 2007 Annie, You may uncross your fingers now. It's a very basic entry and might not tell you anything fresh, but it was there. Here goes. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOSTURM Posted 27 March , 2007 Share Posted 27 March , 2007 Sorry Peter, A complete washout on your names I'm afraid Nigel Clearly not as important as I thought they might 'after the war' ! Thanks Nigel Regards Peter see my Murphy's Register thread if you need any look ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Marshall Posted 27 June , 2007 Author Share Posted 27 June , 2007 Hi again, I'm thinking of downloading the 1914 Who's Who to offer look ups from. Would many of you be interested? I realise that many of the people we look into only "became someone" on the back of their wartime service but for some of the more senior ranking officers there should be entries with good descriptions of pre war service that might have been sidelined after the war. Can we have a show of hands or a quick "Aye" from those who'd like me to do this please? Cheers, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted 27 June , 2007 Share Posted 27 June , 2007 Hi Nigel, I wondered if you could see if there are any Stinton's listed. Much appreciate you doing us this service. Regards eskimo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Marshall Posted 27 June , 2007 Author Share Posted 27 June , 2007 Hi, Just this from the 1926 edition. A mention of a Stinton from the right area marrying the subject of an entry. All the best, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted 27 June , 2007 Share Posted 27 June , 2007 Thanks Nigel, Not one of mine but interesting all the same. eskimo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Marshall Posted 28 June , 2007 Author Share Posted 28 June , 2007 Curiosity got the better of me and I downloaded the 1914 edition regardless! Look ups offered. Get your orders in now, no need to specify which book you want checked, I'll do both for the same price, although if you know someone was dead by 1926 that would save a bit of time.

Hambo Posted 28 June , 2007 Share Posted 28 June , 2007 Nigel Could you look up J.C. Denison-Pender and H.D. Denison-Pender the former became an MP and both survived the war so the 1926 version should be the one if they're in there at all Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambo Posted 15 July , 2007 Share Posted 15 July , 2007 Nigel You were warned Do you have G. Windsor-Clive MP and anything on Lancelot S Fletcher who stood for the Liberals (unsuccessfully) in 1923 Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilkokcl Posted 15 July , 2007 Share Posted 15 July , 2007 Does anyone know what the criteria is for appearing in Who's who? (not having made it in there my self!). I know DSO winners made it in to Debrett's Knightage, Baronetage and Companionage. Is WW more a case of whether you are/were famous? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnLyons Posted 15 July , 2007 Share Posted 15 July , 2007 I am not sure if a Captain is important enough, but could you please look up Captain George Hillis (Ellis) Nelson DSO, Cheshire Regiment, please? Many thanks Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
