stevem49 Posted 15 September , 2007 Share Posted 15 September , 2007 Hello I have an Albert H Mycock 24064, died at home 1/8/1918. I cannot find him on CWGC so thought it best to see if there is a death ref for him before proceeding further. Thanks Stevem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryegate Posted 15 September , 2007 Author Share Posted 15 September , 2007 Hi Stevem Strangely there is no record at all on Find my Past but probably because he did not die in action. However, I did wonder if he would have a 'pension' record as he died at home and I have 1 Albert Henry Mycock of York Street, Newcastle. Do you want it? If you can let me know fairly soon, I will download it now I have the record open (6 pages I think) Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wig Posted 17 September , 2007 Share Posted 17 September , 2007 Tom McCluskey of this site has very kindly just sent me the War Diary of my grandfather's unit. It records his death from a direct hit by enemy shelling. I would dearly like to see the death cert as the diary says the direct hit killed three men and wounded one... 2915 Driver Peter McGuiggan Royal Field Artillery (C Bty. 78 Bde) K.I.A 19th April 1917 is that enough?

Owlpen15 Posted 17 September , 2007 Share Posted 17 September , 2007 Can you please tell me what is the 'death certificate reference ' that you refer to, that can be found on Find My past? Is it the same reference that can be found on fiche in my local archives under War Dead? Would there be a certificate for someone whose body was never found but is on the Thiepval memorial? Carol Cooper To answer your last question Carol - yes there should be a certificate for someone whose body was never found. I have the certificate for Herbert Fisher who died in May 1915. His body was never found but his name is on the Helles Memorial. Owlpen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryegate Posted 17 September , 2007 Author Share Posted 17 September , 2007 Hello z4 I have checked the records on Find my Past but nothing exists for William Edward Beard. Checked all of them just in case the christian name was incorrectly stated but no Beards with the regiment No. you gave. I have also gone through all the Beards on the Ancestry pension records but none with the reg. No. I will take a look in Officers KIA and let you know if I find anything there.

Ryegate Posted 17 September , 2007 Author Share Posted 17 September , 2007 Hello z4 I have now checked all possibilities but have found nothing that would be related to the William Edward Beard. I have found an William E Beard on GRO records, aged 24. Death registered 1st Quarter 1919, in Bakewell. Ref: 7b 1296. As Bakewell is in Derbyshire, is this a possibility? Especially, as he was only 24? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphjd Posted 17 September , 2007 Share Posted 17 September , 2007 Ryegate. Can you do me a big favour please? I have a soldier ARTHUR JAMES MILLIGAN listed as killed 26 6 1918 and a forum member who is tracing where he was killed informs me that Arthur is buried next to 275981 GEORGE HAMILTON whom the CWGC has died 26-6-1916 and a book he has states 26-6-1915 SDGW has them both killed 1918. Would you check Pte Hamiltons death date for me? Thank you Ralph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jantells Posted 8 October , 2007 Share Posted 8 October , 2007 Hi Ryegate, Can you please search for David Raw 5203,2nd/8thBn.,Manchester Regiment Transferred to(21937),738th Area Employment Coy., Labour Corp who died on 25/04/1918 He is buried at AERODROME MILITARY CEMETERY near YPRES Best Regards Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryegate Posted 9 October , 2007 Author Share Posted 9 October , 2007 Hi Janet Details are: Name: RAW, David Regiment, Corps etc.: Labour Corps Battalion etc.: Last name: Raw First name(s): David Initials: D Birthplace: Manchester, Lancs Enlisted: Manchester Residence: Rank: L/CPL Number: 219737 Date died: 25 April 1918 How died: Killed in action Theatre of war: France & Flanders Supplementary Notes: FORMERLY 5203, MANCHESTER REGT. Have problems reading the death cert ref. so am reluctant to give this to you but it is 1918 M.3 and I think 586 but could be 585 so I wouldn't rely too much on this. You can however, still get the certificate if you wish but without the ref. it will cost you £11. Sorry about that. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jantells Posted 9 October , 2007 Share Posted 9 October , 2007 Thank's very much for that, I will send for it now Do i send in the same way as any other Death Certificate Thanks again Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
