Family History Beginners Board / Military records John Cross
« on: Sunday 15 November 20 19:07 GMT (UK) »
Hello, I'm trying to find out whay great grandfather, John William Cross did during WW1.
He was born during the third quarter of 1883 in Heighington, Lincolnshire.
The 1911 census shows that he was living in Washingborough Lincoln.
His parents were John and Mary Cross and at the time of the war he was married to Daisy Cross with 2 children.
I have spent a long time looking, it would appear in the wrong place.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Kevin Cross

Hello everyone.
I am trying to find out what my grandad did in WW2. I cannot find any military records about him at all but looking at the time he lived, 1905 - 1968, I sure that he must have done some sort of national service somewhere. He was from Portsmouth.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

Hello again Keyboard.
I have also found the christening in Caistor and now I am starting to wonder if this may have been misinterpreted onto the records. I find it hard to imagine that he would have been born in Gayton le Marsh and then taken 22 miles (a long way in those days) to Caistor to be christened.
(The christening record is actually where I got George and Jemima from although I can't find anything about them).
Thank you very much for your help.
I shall now press on and see what else I can find.
Regards
Kev

Jemima and George Cross are the parents and Thomas Cross (1783 - 1863 Lincolnshire (I know this from his christening records)).
I cannot find anything at all about George and Jemima....no birth records, death records or marriages.
Can anyone help me please
Thanx
Kev
