Seeking to rule in/out Private Robert CLARKSON Regimental No 9588, 11th Manchester Regiment, WW1 from my research.  He was born in 1879.

Grateful for details of either exact date/place of birth or parents details or date of death.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

He lived at 75 Melbourne Street, Salford (WW1 pension records).  Still there in 1939 - date of birth 11 March 1882 per the register.

Thanks ShaunJ.
Interesting re year of birth as the WW1 Hospital Admission and Discharge records (National Archives MH106/210), admission date 18 August 1915 to the 149th Field Ambulance gives his year of birth as 1879 - good to now have correct info.

Thanks

Only Robert William was born in Chepstow - I don't think he ever knew that.  Mother's Maiden Name was Fanny Jones
Did Ginger Bob - Marry Elizabeth Fletcher 1901 ?

He was Discharged April 1916 with Silver War Badge  Number 43376
