HI Janice; Thank you so much for all your help first let me say the William Charles Bosward born 1930 is my late husband
much older by 14yrs) he died in Canada 2010. . the Wm C.Bosward above 1898-1979 is my late father in law, whom I'm trying to find military WW1 service records.
The top insert you have for William Bosward discharge 12-7-1915 is my father in law's father he born abt 1860 served in Royal Warwickshire Reg very young age till 1897 when he married widow Harriet , I think he was in the Territorials and tried to enlist again for WW1 and was turned down due to ill health, I have found a couple of things to that effect, he was discharged with a pension of 40 pounds year, he & Harriet lived at 76 Unett St Smethwick, when Harriet died Oct 1922 it says Kings Norton.Smethwick.and William died 1925 Birmingham South.
I'm hoping someday to find out how to get copies of his medals.
A volunteer on Find A Grave sent me the email for Sandwell council so I have emailed them to ask for help finding the graves of Harriet & William Bosward. will keep you updated on progress.
Last comment Alice Bosward was my late mother in law she died 1964, we came over for the funeral and she is buried in Hendon Cem with my father in law joined her in 1979. we are hoping to get over some day to see the graves and clean up the mess.
Thank you to Rosie. you guy's are all a great help I will try Smethwick Library Archives ,let you know any results.
Kind regards
Janey
