I cannot be 100% but in the 1891 and 1901 censuses a Sydney of the correct age is with his parents James and Mary and a brother William and in 1891 they are milkmen except sydney who is scholar and in 1901 James sydney and william are milkmen. And living in the right place and born in the right place.

I am also relatively sure Normans parents are wrong as well should be Samuel and louisa not samuel and mary.

On the website for the sollars it says he died in Kantara ,Egypt. So must be him.

Hi, thought you might like to know that Norman Sollars (Sept 1898 - 28/5/1918) was my great uncle. His brother Albert was my grandfather. Albert married Edith Workman 11/2/1928, and they eventually moved to Camberley in Surrey. They had two boys Albert Roy, my father, and Michael Kenneth. I think I have traced my line back to John Sollars (1616) who married Alice ?. She died in 1684. One of his grandchildren was John who married Elizabeth Osborne 5/5/1713.

You may be interested to know that Norman Sollars is one of the me featured in Sheepscombe History Society's booklet on the Sheepscombe War Memorial - see http://www.sheepscombehistory.org.uk/warmemorialbook.html.  There is also some genealogical information elsewhere on the site about people who lived in the village.
