Hi Derek, You say he served in WW1 - The PRO at Kew has large numbers of military service records from WW1 indexed in surname order. This often contains a fair bit of information about parents, offspring and addresses. It is freely available on a self service basis. Unfortunately I cannot do any look ups for you as I am unable to get to Kew for a few months owing to work commitments. Kind regards, Jon Eaves EAVES - Preston & The Fylde mainly, but any time anywhere is also of interest.
