Here is the information in full from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's website and you are fortunate that there is a lot of information which should enable you to track him back at least to the 1901 Census RYLOTT, JIM Private Leicestershire Regiment 2nd/5th Bn. Service No: 242061 Age: 19 Date of Death: 30/03/1917 Son of James and Catherine Rylott, of High St., Billingborough, Lincs. Grave/Memorial Reference: II. F. 36. BRAY MILITARY CEMETERY -----Original Message----- From: leicestershire-plus-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:leicestershire-plus-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Peter HOLMES Sent: 30 July 2008 16:02 To: lincolnshire new; leicestershire-plus@rootsweb.com Subject: [LEI] J RYLOTT died March 1917 in France- Leicestershire regiment G'day from Western Australia on a chilly, windy/rainy evening. Whilst Googling the RYLOTT name I discovered this reference - with serial number 242061 - on a list of Leicestershire regiment men that died in France. He's buried in the Bray Military Cemetery (? In France) - apparently dying or buried on 30 March 1917. Where would I easily be able to find more details of him such as place and date of birth, parents/spouse, prev occupation and home address? This type of info would help me determine if he's directly linked to my RYLOTTs. Peter Holmes Western Australia.
