Morning all I was on www.ancestry.co.uk late last night looking for a marriage record and noticed a new set of records. British Army WW1 Pension Records 1914 - 1920 Release One. At the moment they have only got records for surnames beginning with A and B but it looks like a fabulous resource. I found my great grandfathers sign up papers. He joined the army four days after his wedding and it has his address and occupation and even his actual signature. I'm so pleased! I can't wait till the other records are available. I also found early discharge papers for another relative in 1917 so there appears to be a range of records held in this database. Regards Net

Good Morning, I came across this the other day too, but it was shear luck that you found your ggfather's records. I was looking for an Albert Birch, I got 3 supposed hits, but two were George Birches and the third was somebody Burch. So the search engine is currently only focusing on "sounds like" surname.
