Cheers Ken

The process I am having to go through is one of elimination.  All I know is that one of Captain Walter Shorts brothers was serving and another was wounded.  This is tough as I cant find records for 2 other brothers serving...

wow thanks, makes great reading.
No, the only info I have is the above documentation.   and the findmypast record stating wounded/sick Dec16

From what i can tell he enlisted at a deadly time going though some of the worst battles, so maybe they were behind on the paperwork?

Poor Herbert (yes its Herbert Im looking into (his brothers were Cpt Walter, leonard, Henry Hisher, james Horace, George Albert, Ernest, William Percy (sister was Ada) most were ministers too!)

Thanks again.

World War One / 1/7 Northumberland Fusiliers
« on: Saturday 06 February 16 22:31 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there I hope someone can help me out in working out what happened to my ancestor.

Pte Ernest Short
Service No 291259
Enlisted 7/4/16
Wounded December 1916
Discharged 21/3/17   discharged due to wounds

The thing is as far as i can work out 1/7 Northumberland were at a lull in December 1916
Findmypast gave notes as   Fmly 7/4508, Silver War badge No.201617, what does that mean?

Any idea how i trace this.  I have his death in 1956, so his wounds were not fatal (well not in 1917)

Any further help appreciated.

The Common Room / Re: Searching for a marriage - FHL number?

Great thanks for all that - yes i found the actual page.  Amazing.

Can anyone give me some advice please.
One of the witnesses was a James Platt.  I want to see if i can work out who he was.  The reason being is that Thomas and Ellen went on to have a son called James Platt Green, so I am assuming he was very close to them.

TIA

The Common Room / Searching for a marriage - FHL number?
« on: Wednesday 03 February 16 13:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there, I am trying to trace back Thomas Green and Ellen Tildsley, married in Deane, Bolton, Lancashire on 17 Dec 1851
Ancestry brought up a single link to FHL Film Number:   2113073
But that seems to bring up loads of links and none of them linked to the marriage certificate.

My usual recourse is to order a copy of the marriage certificate to go further back but I dont have an mre details, other than Ellen's father was Abraham.

Any advice appreciated very much.
Cheers
