On the WW1 Memorials from both Mulbarton and Newton Flotman there is a James Carver. The two villages are about 2 miles apart, and it is believed that they are for the same person. Researchers in both villagers have tried to find out who this James Carver is, and have narrowed it down to a James Carver born in Intwood about 1883 to a John and Harriet Carver. In 1905 James married Cicely Elizabeth Canham, born in Braconash in 1885. It is known that Cicely died in 1975, but we have no idea of the date of James death. Obviously, we could obtain a copy of Cicely’s death certificate and try to trace the informant, but if someone has both of them in their tree it would save us the cost of the certificate. Does anyone own them??????????????? Kind regards Mike Wilkinson

A couple of thoughts. If he is on the War Memorial, the strong implication is that he died as a result of his military service therefore he is probably listed on CWGC or have I missed something? Secondly, was his first name James? Was it his second name or simply the name by which he was known locally? Thirdly could the army have incorrectly recorded his surname?
