Just rechecked 1901 -Lily is 11 (there is a thick line through age -but it does look more like 11 - but Ada B's occ is definately Cotton Winder - although I can understand why Mum read it as laundress

Hello All,

Stringer is not a family member of mine, but I have been trying to search for a soldier (H Stringer 1779) who served in The Great War of 1914 to 1918.

I have 3 of his medals, and have been trying to find out more about him, to put some history to them. 

He possibly lived in South Wales later on in his life.  This is not a definate though.

Hi Suzard,

No, 1779 was his military service number.

I have now found out today, that he is Harold Stringer, born 1901 and served in The Royal Field Artillery as a driver.

Hi again Suz, just read through your post, and saw "Harry son 7mth Nottingham".
Now look at this taken from this web page: http://www.findmypast.com/Pre84SearchCountServlet

First name on page - STRINGER, Harold   
Last name on page - STURM, Marie Genevieyo L
Year Quarter - 1901 Apr-May-Jun

This might be a long shot, but where you say the wife was Mary, do you think it could be Marie?  She then had a son, Harry (Harold).

No the wife is definately Mary there is another mark after mary -which looks like it could be an A
So she could be mary A -but in 1891 she is mary J

I am working from the image -which is very badly written in parts -but Mary is very clear
???????

I have found the medal card of harold Stringer Royal Field Artillery
Regt no 1779, 740999

but can't find any pension records

I can't find any 1901 birth reg for harold Springer which would be on 1901 census

have you looked for him in 1911??

I have not looked for Harold Stringer in 1911 yet. 

Again, just thoughts, but I am guessing that if he was born in 1901, then he would have been a young boy on entering the war at 16 or 17.  The mortality rate of soldiers during this time was very high, and the opportunity for promotion was always there.  As Harold was a Driver (Private), then I am assuming he joined the war towards  it's closing date, during to him not ranking up.

If Harold was born after 1901, then he would have been too young to join the war, although he could have lied over his age, as many boys did at this time.

I have not found anything on Marie Sturm from Plymouth, but she might not have been born in Britain, guessing by her name.

I thought it would be fairly straight forward to get some info on the soldier, but it just opens door after door as you dig deeper.  :o

Thanks for helping out so far, and I don't envy your task trying to find all those children.

It was just a long shot, that this could have been your Harry...
