Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Jabez Britton, Grenadier Guards 22408, WW1 medal cards

Thank you all for your helpful replies.  I've looked at British Army WW1 Medal Records 1914-1920 and it confirms that my grandad would have received just the three medals shown on his card.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Jabez Britton, Grenadier Guards 22408, WW1 medal cards
« on: Saturday 13 December 25 15:29 GMT (UK)  »
Can anybody tell me whether servicemen received more than one medal card?  My grandad served from January 1915 to 1920.  The only medal card I can find is stamped 1914-15 although it has been updated to show the award of the Victory medal and British medal.  It also shows the award of the 15 Star - theatre of war (1) France 5.10.15.  He fought in France and Flanders - were there separate medals for individual campaigns?  I ask because the 15 Star I take to be 1914-15 Star and I wondered if there were any later stars.
Thanks in advance,
Mel

Thank you everyone.  I've now got the information available, which is a transcript of the baptism record, unfortunately without parents' names, but pretty sure it's the correct one.
mckha489 and heywood thanks for the link.  I looked at the Lancashire Archives site and confirmed that they don't have the original registers for 1855.
Much appreciated.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Baptism of James Fletcher, born 1855 in Ardwick, Manchester
« on: Tuesday 09 December 25 23:19 GMT (UK)  »
James was born to James and Mary Ann (nee Woods) Fletcher and was probably baptised in a Roman Catholic church.  His parents were married in 1849 at Saint Augustine's Catholic Chapel, Manchester.
I'm looking for an image of his baptism register entry, if there is one on-line.  Can anyone trace it or suggest where I might find it please?  I've tried Ancestry, FindmyPast etc.
Many thanks
Mel

Thanks Rami,  I probably look at these old photos seeing what I remember, perhaps affecting my impressions of what is there.
I definitely appreciate what you have done.
Cheers
