Thank you both for this info. I believe the Rowton House Alfred to be the right man. I had found the marriage to Lucy in 1906 and the info regards Henry being sent to Canada but I'm trying to tie up all these loose ends so this posting. All the other info regards the children is new to me so...

Birth year1882 name of wife Lucy? Peter

Looking for the name Tyers , Alfred living at 76 Benacre Street, Birmingham (late 1919 early 1920's). Married and child/children but believe child/children sent to Canada (1921?). Any help would most appreciated. Electoral register info or any other help would be most appreciated. Peter

Many thanks both (MWS and pjmburns) for your feedback and info which confirms details I already have but needed that little extra information for proof. The passenger lists confirmed it so much appreciated Janice. Regards Peter

Have checked 1911 census and may have Samuel (serving 1st Worceseters) but need more info to confirm. Janice you have the right Samuel, he was serving with the 2nd Bn. Worcestershire Regiment and was KiA 21.10.1914. Have had no luck with 1891 or 1901 census returns. Details from Soldiers died...

Not much to go on with this person but hoping someone can help with information. All I have is an address and this was around the 1930's, 28 Kirby Road, Winson Green. There was a daughter (Emily) but do not know husbands name (possibly Samuel?). A son named Samuel died in WW1 (1914). May have...

Hi Paul, Yes I thought it must be Mark Higgitt. Our paths crossed a while back when Mark was producing his Gheluvelt programme. I have not been in contact for a while but could email him again. Thank you for posting the info regards your trip(s) to Gheluvelt, I am always searching for more...

Hi Paul, What is your interest with the 2nd Worcesters? The first person you met, Mark, I think I may know and have had some exchange of info with previous. I could check my data regards the grandfather of Charlie if you have his name. Regards Peter

Thanks Viv and Phil for your feedback (and Photos) , much appreciated. Regards Peter

I would be interested to know when Bloomsbury Street was first developed and if any maps are available showing its earliest time. Any early photos would also be of interest. Peter

Hi Carolann, Sorry I don't have a Francis B. Murphy on my database so he would not have been a 1914 Star man (with the Worcesters). With the date you gave for his enlistment I thought he may have served in S/Africa but found no record for King's or Queen's S/Africa Medal (again with...

Hi Luan, I have your G/Grandfather on my list. His service record does not appear to have survived the bombing in 1940 and apart from MIC, 1914 Star Roll and BW & Victory Medal Roll details I have little regards his army service. He enlisted 23rd September 1902 and was discharged (wounds) 30th...

Hi Jim, Going back a bit 1997 so don't think I would be able to obtain a copy. However it would only be part of Dulcie's fictionalised biography of her father and I have been hoping to see the complete work. Regards Peter

Hi Jim, Many thanks for your very kind offer and any info regarding his (James) service with the Worcesters would be most appreciated. I know the Imperial War Museum have a copy and I did contact them some time back but because of copy-write law they only allow 10% copy of the work (so I have a...

Hi Jim, Yes I am still interested. James served with the 2nd Battalion Worcestershire Regiment ( Lance Corporal 11823 J. Shelley) and his daughter Dulcie wrote a fictionalised biography of her father and his service with the 2nd Bn., Worcestershire Regiment and the Labour Corps from 1917, in...
