    3. I tried looking for my grandfather's WW1 records (William Jennings of Retford, b. 1886). He served, and survived, in the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry. There does not seem to be any records at all from the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry. Does that mean that the whole set have been lost , or that they have another name? Bob.

    3. Hi Bob First thing to say is that the records on Ancestry are not as a rule indexed by Regiment, if you search for Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry in the keyword box with no other name or details you will find some listed but not a great deal Added to that two thirds of service records were lost in WW2, many of the remainder are part damaged If he survived do you have his medals ? Around the rim should be his name, service number and Regiment Checking the medal cards I can't see a JENNINGS who was in the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry but there are various abbreviations or he may have served in another regiment as well and be recorded under that If you have more let me know Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) >I tried looking for my grandfather's WW1 records (William Jennings of > Retford, b. 1886). > He served, and survived, in the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry. > There does not seem to be any records at all from the Sherwood Rangers > Yeomanry. > Does that mean that the whole set have been lost , or that they have another > name? > > Bob.
