Where do I look for information on the relatives of Siegfried Sassoon?

[RosalindElsiE]

At present I am researching as a further branch of my family
which I only discovered yesterday afternoon (Sunday), that
one of my Great Aunt's Dulcie nee Franklin was married to a
Capt., Sassoon Joseph Sassoon.

Her parentage was Frederic Samuel Franklin and mother was Lucy Amy nee Magnus, father was Sir Philip Magnus, 1st Bart., M.P. of London.

His father was Joseph Sasson and his mother was Louise, daughter
of of Baron Horace de Gunzburg of St Petersburg, Russia.

He was born in 1885 and died on 7 February 1922. but he's related as a first cousin to the World War 1 poet Siegfried Sassoon.

I would like to know if he fought in any of those contemporary wars or any information about him that's if anyone can help me please.

Annie
Thank for your searches and I do use that Maculocchs site all the time,
as it was the first good one that I found. Including that I am in it too.

I have not met one of the Sassoon's relatives yet, also it's ok that
you've not been able to find the Joseph that I'm after.

The Joseph Sassoon that I am after if it's of any help was related to
Siegfried Sassoon, I have found a wee bit about him on the
www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ site.

Thanks Annie and Silvery yes I will have a look for them tomorrow
but I do appreciate all of your searches and they're fascinating too.

[liverpool annie]

It wasn't me who gave you the last lot !! ... it was "silvery" !! 

But I'll have a little look later when it's a little quieter and see what else can be found !!

Annie sorry and oops, I should have looked more carefully.

Also no rush yet for the information, I am just doing the research in most likely a very unprofessional way.
Because I have made a lot of Word files that was before I had bought the Family Historian software but I still have to get used to that too.

 

All of your searches have taught me loads in just a few minutes,
Thanks
