Hi

This might be him:

He should also appear in the WW1 service records on A**try but I've not located him yet. Also WW1 service medals on that site or the Nat. Archives.

Too far away - the West Felton one looks a better bet.

mmm45 - do you know where abouts around Oswestry the family lived?

He lived in Albert Road, in oswestry. I had the papers for George A Corbett, but it lists his wife and children as totally different to what we know to be correct.  
Thank you again for looking

The one that I linked to wasn't the Wellington one. The Wellington one died 1918. the one I found died 1916 - no kin info.
