    Hi No, I don't have any photo's, it appears they were either camera shy or just didn't have enough money to buy a camera and take photo's, I would think more a lack of money. Which is a shame.

    Bigboy Do you use Ancestry as well or just read the posts from 2014? Michael-JourneymanBrummie & Charlie were kind enough to help and traced the records for me. John was my grandfather, any info you want about the Anderton's just let me know and i'll do my best to help you out. By the way, if...

    Michael DOH me! For month's I had been searching the military lists on ancestry without checking the 'absent' voters list. Thanks for that tip i'll try and remember to look that up if I should have any more rellies in WW1 to look up. ps I checked National Archives earlier to see if they...

    Bewdley Title: spanner in the works. By the way, my grandads accident which caused his death in 1929 at the BSA, was literally caused by a spanner falling into a machine he had just repaired and caused the machine to explode, sending pieces of it flying out. A piece hit his skull causing the...

    Bewdley Thanks for the info. It was only John's WW1 record that I couldn't locate as I didn't have a regiment number for him although I'm still looking for papers which tells me when he actually signed up. I have copies of birth, marriage (1st and 2nd) and death certs including a copy of his...

    Hi Viv Joseph could be another Anderton family branch, possibly from Sheldon. I notice this one also served down south in another regiment. Definitely, liked to 'get stuck in'

    Hello Charlie, we do have a Joseph so might be worth keeping a note. I've messaged a couple of contacts on Ancestry, but unfortunately they don't have access to WW1 records either. I don't mind paying for a record if it's genuine and the person you are looking for. With the fire and...

    You, me and Charlie are related then! Cool! Are you Bignell on Ancestry? With John Anderton and Elizabeth being my great grandparents, I haven't done much on Beatrice and Frederick. Incidentally, wasn't Beatrice a "Jane Beatrice?" Some records use Jane Beatrice and others Beatrice.

    Hi I logged in to see the thread, I am the 'friend' Charlie mentioned. Me mother's an Anderton before she married. My Ancestry tree goes a little further back than 1700. Recently trying to find a connection between the Tanworth and Ratley & Radway/Burton Dassett Anderton's, I believe the...

    THE GOLDEN ARROW OLTON
