I grew up a couple of villages away from Brinklow, my sister now lives there.
Happy to answer any specific questions you have.

in case you are interested and don't already know there are still Lissamans living in Wolston.  I lived next door to one family as a child

Just thought I would feedback on the quote I have received from the National Archives for a full copy of William Walter Hammonds military records - £369.80! It is 151 pages, but unfortunetly I won't be getting a copy.  It would be cheaper to go to London and look through myself and only photocopy what is useful to me.
I would request specific information but have no idea which bits would be useful!
Thank you all for your help

Cheers!
I had found his death and the National Probate Calender, but had drawn a blank on the medal index card.
I bet after all this there won't be a connection with 'my' Hammonds but at least I will have confirmed or disproved a family story.  William Walter hammond is the father of Walter "Wally" Hammond a Gloucester and England cricketer

Thanks Phil
Can I ask where you were able to get this information - fairly new to all this so would be helpful for future reference

Thank you both for your replies.
The name I am looking for is William Walter Hammond born Abt 1879(Middlesex) and died 5/5/1918 (France/Belgium) when a Major in the Royal Garrison Artillary.  I am not sure if it helps as I do not know what it means but the Commealthwealth War Graves Commission mention "comments 139H"
Also they have is name as William Walker Hammond, though on all other records I have he is down as William Walter Hammond.
Thank you very much for your help

World War One / Major pension records
« on: Saturday 08 January 11 18:58 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to trace the WW1 pension records for a possible family link.  He was killed in France in 1918.  I have found his war grave but can find no record of him in the WW1 pension records.  I have also found him in the 1901 census when he was a Bombardier.  When he was killed he was a major.
Would his records be in the same records as those soldiers who were Privates?  If not any suggestions where i could look please
Fingers crossed someone can help
thanks
