On Ancestry there is a Medal Roll WW1 for William R Trainer Prince of Wales Own  (West Yorkshire) Regiment 17 / 587. There is also a tree that has Attestation Papers but I think it is wrong because he has the wrong wife on the papers Mary Emma Whitman. Take Care Lynette

That tree has the wrong papers attached!
The Wlliam Robert Trainer on those papers was aged 27 at attestation in 1914! ::)
And born in Hulme, Manchester!

Hi
I've just found this forum as I was searching for records of my great grandmother Annie Gilcriss.  I was intrigued to find others interested in her and my great grandfather, William Trainer. Are you relations?

I have the family tree for the Trainer family including all the relations in Australia, many of whom I have met.

Please message me if you would like any more information.  I am particularly interested in knowing what happened to Annie Gilcriss as my grandmother would not talk about her.  We do have a photo of her though as well as many of the Trainer family.
