109 Napier st does but thats as much as I know really
I believe my grandmother his wife (Ruth waring )grew up in the gate house of Knowlsey estate ( now safari Park )
and they knew each other from a very young age

George st though nothing at all

My grandfather always said he changed his name and I suspect he had more than 1 alias that he used why I have no idea
I know he started life in lincoln I have located his birth certificate and Have him in prescot when he is 3 with his mother and sister and brother
winifred and I think william Charlotte his mother was originally heald her family I can now trace back to 1600 and have found family I never knew I had, but grandad is a living nightmare

I think his father was Herbert Brown ( 1875 where or how he died is a mystery )and his father was Thomas Brown C1845)
now after 2 years of searching you know as much as I do

I know reginald was born 1897 in lincoln and died 1985 Chorley / preston
I know when he joined up he faked his age as he was too young then he was wounded and medically discharged with shrapnel in his head and legs but at some point he signed away his disability pension and rejoined the army
years later in the 1970s the british leigion got it reinstated and he got a back pay sum of money
I also know he got a grave plot at st helens cemetary as a "perk" and I say that lighlty from Pilkingtons Glass and a small holding at Duxbury when he came home from the war

but literally anything you can gleam would be much appreciated

Hi can anyone help
I am trying to start a trace on my grandfather reginald brown after many brick walls I have finally got a glimmer of hope
can anyone tell me anything about silver war badge no 205096
he was possibly serving in the south lancashire regiment service no 22224 
30th oct 1915 and discharged 1917 ( which rings true with what he always told us that he was too young to join up and gave a fake D.O.B )

any information would be appreciated no matter how small

my mistake I should of asked for 1901 not 1911
as this is dated 31st march 1901
Sorry 

No I am still having issues getting the certs for Reginald which may show his fathers details
I haven't given up but his name issue might be causing it

I had an email last night with the name william Herbert Brown 1876 suggested from Christchurch Hampshire
I know Charlotte his wife was from laverstock Hampshire so I suppose I should check him out it would make sense if he had a second name that could be causing all sorts of problems

back to the searching
If I manage to get a cert I will post the details
