Trying to trace an unknown soldier

[california dreamin]

Hi,
As far as I know these are not online.  Perhaps worth an email or phone call to the Wiltshire Archives and see if they have them.  They really are useful if they have them! I don't think they survived in all areas.

Thanks CD.  I immediately emailed Wilts Archives and have received a reply.  No Gale's listed on the 1918 voters list unfortunately.

But I have found something else.  Across the road in Sedgehill village (about a mile away), on the 1918   Electoral Roll, Mount Pleasant, Sedgehill:

Gale Walter Thomas & Gale Ellen Beatrice

I am going to see if I can search back on this couple.

Note to All:  Feel free to search on my behalf!

Hi LC

This could be their marriage

Walter T Gale
Ellen B Kent
Wimborne, Mar Q 1911, 5a 361

So they should be on the 1911 as a married couple

The London area Electoral Rolls are on line. County Durham has theirs filmed. As for the other counties I have not come across any yet but am looking forward to hearing if there are any others.

Crumbs, I'm having trouble keeping up here!  I can see Reginald Gale Reg No 1264, as a possible, but can't find a connection between him and the couple in Sedgehill, Walter Thomas and Ellen Beatrice Gale.

1891 Census Bridport Walter T & Mary Emma with 2 children, Alfred & Margaret
1901 Census Bridport, Walter & Mary with with 3 children, Alfred, Margaret & Reginald
1911 Census Bridport, Walter E and Mary E with 2 children, Margaret and Reginald

I still do need to find that connection.

You have done soooo well Jool, thank you very very much
