Richard is on the WW1 war memorial in our local church, St George's Orcheston, Wiltshire He was born in a neighbouring village and christened in St. Georges. He is shown as of the parish but other than his birth and christeneing I can find no connection with Orcheston and would be so grateful if anyone can through any light on this for me.

Thanks

A great big thank you to those who have replied. I had checked the census reports but had missed what I was looking for. It has been a great help. I now know a little more of his background. I had guessed that Tracy was his mother's maiden name but what of St George Thanks to you, I know that was where he was christened could he possibly have been named after the church he was christened in; could that have been why he is on the war memorial as of the parish.
