I have been meaning to say that anyone seeking a death certificate reference for a soldier killed in action, I would be pleased to look for it on Find my Past.

Hi Diane,

Ryegate hasn't dropped in for a while (hope I am not stepping on his toes)

Gwynne John Gnr. 50033 R.F.A. 1915 Volume A.1 Page 64

Gwyne (note spelling) William Sgt. 30284 R.F.A. 1915 Volume A.1 Page 67

The entries on this page on the CD are very faint. It may be an idea to have the GRO verify them.

Two references:

The next line is blank except for the details Volume A.8 Page 109

Hi Doug,

Could you lookup Pte John BEETHAM (Born 1891 Ambleside, Westmorland), 27920 Border Regt, killed 27 January 1917, near Le Transloy, but listed on Thiepval Memorial as no known grave. I note you are also a member of Ancestry, could you also look him up on there, as I see they have some WW1 records?

Thanks for your help.
