Where might I find military records for Adam Alexander Private 416929 A.S.G.

[12tootsi34]

Just a bit of info. The Alexander family line is also in Norfolk as it is one of my ancestor names.

2 years have passed, many Scotland's People records have been scoured, have searched "all collections" around the globe and have still not connected:
1. Adam Alexander with a father and mother: John and Mary [Joannis & Mariae Alexander] as per Catholic marriage record Aug 1, 1919 Liverpool to Alice Fox
2. Adam Alexander [rank Private 416929] marriage January 16, 1919 to Alice Fox as per GRO. John Alexander [farmer] was still living.
3. Any census with Adam and Alice Alexander, with exception of Canada 1916 census which has the couple immigrating to Canada in 1904 and first child b. in 1906, when Alice Fox would have been 10-12. years old.
4. Any census with a John and Mary as parents to Adam Alexander.

Question: Does the WWI service records show anywhere else where a soldier was born?

Thanks for any more insight.

I finally realized that this ASC MT soldier transferred to Z class August 2, 1919 and the other number 21347 is the AFZ service number.

Have you found him in the 1911 census, which would give details of birthplace and, if he is staying with them, his parents?

Did you notice on the service records for Pte Adam Alexander 416929 of Army Service Corps it states that he married Alice Fox in Dublin on 26th December 1914. Address recorded at enlistment of 9 Stanley St Warrington

[lancsann]

there is a marriage for a John Adam Alexander in 1875 in Dublin on Findmy past. I do not have access to see more information

[allesond]

Yes, but as I have the GRO marriage cert from Jan 1919 for Alice Fox and Adam Alexander and their Catholic marriage record of Aug 1919, I think the Dec 1914 marriage notation is a fib for the army for some reason or other.

Thanks

I did wonder whether it was a fiction to satisfy the army but wondered if it indicated he was actually Irish.
