As I have been told so many times when grumbling -the golden rule of transcribers is to transcribe what they see...but wouldn't it be nice on commercial sites if for place names their "seeing" was aided by the list of actual place names. A transcriber looking at iffy handwriting and thinking ...haM could see they were mistaken if they had looked at a list of Norfolk villages. Since we pay for FindMyPast and Ancestry it would be nice if they did at the very least include a transcriber corrected alternative in the index/search. Other transcriptions made by dedicated volunteers are beyond reproach in my opinion, such is my gratitude. As for making corrections awkward-I gave up adding a reason for correcting Ancestry because I was too tempted to put " it just is!" Just found a Blaxter for Thaxter on the GRO birth index-GRO mistake.

I think most must have been local / village / parish decisions. Some memorials have a section for those "who gave their lives" and also a section for "those who served". Lots of service personnel are (rightly) remembered on more than one memorial - possibly the town / village where they lived, the one where they were born, the Church they attended, the place they worked before enlisting, the place they died - as well as regimental rolls of honour in regimental chapels or museums. Enid

Thank you - this is all very interesting and, I am sure, a matter of great debate at the time and also for some, a very personal undertaking to 'get it right' ! As someone who was born after the war, I have little comprehension about local organisations and how they kept track of who was serving in the forces etc and casualty figures etc - obviously it was kept track of but probably in numerous different ways varying from village to village etc A lot to think about and probably to read up about :) Thank you again Caroline -----Original Message----- From: David Tennant Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2014 2:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NFK] What were the criteria for being on a War Memorial ?

Thank you all, particularly Simon, for your response to my enquiry. I have shown your photo, Simon, to my husband and he is thrilled !! My MIL was estranged from her mother (James' mother and my OH's grandmother) and my OH never knew his grandmother. After his grandmother's death in 1982, my OH met his aunt for the first time and my MIL was reunited with her sister after 40 years. Neither she nor my MIL would talk about their childhood or their brother's death so we know very little, but I am sure now that they must have known about the memorial in Mendlesham church. Due to having a very elderly dog we aren't able to be out of the house for very long, but, as soon as we are able we will visit Mendelsham and see the memorial for ourselves. Thank you so much also to Ruth who offered to photo James' grave in Portsmouth, although I already have a photo of it, but her kindness is much appreciated. Another piece in the jigsaw ! I'm very grateful for your help.

We have researching our 21 men who lost their lives in the first world war from our village and some have a very tenuous link with the village. 2 appear on our memorial and on one in the next village. One a sailor also appears on the Mercantile Marine Memorial in London and another at Chatham , royal navy. We had 2 names missing from or second world memorial who both died after the of wounds. I checked with Commonwealth Graves Commisiion to see if they had any letters from relations to see if any had refused permission and they had none. So we able to add them to our plaque. However all died while serving. I think that is the key.

James doesn't appear on any memorial in Portsmouth as he has a grave, and the memorial there only lists those who have no grave. James is buried in Haslar Royal Naval Cemetery in Gosport.

Hi Caroline There was no qualification as such to be included on a war memorial I have people on more than one, others on memorials miles from where they lived or were born In the main the Parish Council organised the names to be entered, I have heard cases of some names that were refused (in that case as he was shot at dawn) and others that were incorrectly spelled or with the wrong regiment If the Parish minutes survive they may contain details of who were put forward and why but not all survive I found (and am kicking myself for not keeping note of where) a full set of notes, letters, estimates & invoices for a war memorial in another County It listed the names put forward and by whom, then estimates for the memorial, the estimates knocked back with changes to lower the price, the requests to local businesses for sponsorship for the memorial, also letters in some cases the refusal as they had already donated to other memorials In my experience the names put forward were mostly by the more vocal in the community, parish councillors etc, who may or may not have the full and accurate details, some people had moved during or after the war and had their loved ones names on the memorial, even though they had never lived there So reasons are many and varied as to why names are on memorials, or were not If a family moved or in many cases the widow or widowers remarried, the new family would have enough to deal with without seemingly looking back I found mention of the war memorial at Mendlesham being moved or is that the USAAF one you mentioned? I would enquire of the local library there and the local studies if they have one (most do) Is it possible they had a combined memorial with another village?

While we are on the subject of war memorials ...... My husband's uncle, James Scarff was born in Fakenham. He went to HMS Ganges in the mid 1930s and then continued in the Navy up to WWII. His mother and younger sister continued to live in Fakenham until around 1936 when they moved to Mendlesham, Suffolk. James was sent to HMS Vernon (Portsmouth) in 1941 for training purposes and was one of many killed on the 11th March 1941 when a building was hit by German bombers. He is buried in Portsmouth. My question is would he have qualified to appear on a war memorial in his home town (Fakenham or Mendlesham) as he wasn't actually on active service when he died ? He doesn't appear on the Fakenham memorial and I am having difficulty finding details of the Mendlesham one. I can only find mention of the USAAF memorial. The Roll of Honour website doesn't list Mendlesham (sorry - not Norfolk, I know :) ) Thank you Caroline

Hi, The last two names on the Downham War memorial are of Thomas William Young and William Thomas Young. There is only one on the Roll of Honour list for Downham nor can I find the other one in the CWGC site , there are 5 WTs but none is local to Downham nor has parents who correspond to the 1911 census . However , William Thomas Young, living at Ryston End, Downham, is 42 in 1911 so absolutely right for the death in 1915 aged 46 , and he has a wife Grace, and a son named Thomas Wm , aged13....b Nordelph Ancestry has a service record of Thomas William Young, then a bit of a muddle but I can read Mrs Harriet Grace and then something and then , mother notified , death Nov 1917 This would seem to be a father and son both killed...father in 1915 and son in 1917.......but with their names transposed........The father is William Thomas b c 1869 kia in Sept 1915 and the son giving the same home address is b c 1898 or 1894 according to his service record , he says he was 20 in 1914, but the census of 1911 says he is 13.... is Thomas William .and killed in Nov 1917........ Anyone with a clearer pair of eyes ? and brain ? is this my first father and son lost to the war . life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=///
