Looking for WW1 records ?

Hi Aunty Em and welcome to RootsChat Lizzey ! 

OK !  ... Aunt Em ... do you have any birth certificates of the children ? and if you do .... see what it says for the Fathers occupation !

( I know my Granddad's service number was on my Grandma's death certificate  .... after I'd been looking for it for years .... it was right there under my nose !    ) so check and see OK ?

There are quite a few Philip Gray's and Grey's ...... so we need to find a bit more information - so we can narrow the field  ..... do you have him on 1901 census ?

Think about everything you know .... even family stories ... do you have a photo in uniform ?

Give as much information as you can and that will help somebody help you !

Hiya Lizzey,

Thank you sooo much for your info, I`m indebted to you, I will have a look in the national arcives, bless you

Hiya Annie,
I have my mothers birth cert, she was born in 1919, it states her father was a labourer, this is all the info I have apart from my grannies death cert. I`m afraid I was brougt up in the era when children were not allowed to listen to adults talk and was shooed from the room if any `talk` was going on My grandfather died in 1960, we live in England, so I only have a vague recollection of him.

I really appreciate all your help, thank you

Thinking about medals and uniforms..... I have a misty memory of three medals in my mother handbag, which I used to look at as a child,( I don`t know wht has happened to them) there is a photo somewhere of my GF in uniform, if I can remember who has it.

Take Care Annie

Regards

Aunty Em
