Re: water Moore At the start of this thread, you wrote that he fought in WWI in the army. What is it you want to know about him?

Re: water Moore On the 1918 Absent Voters List, this is the only Walter Moore. Could this be your man? 1918Sandwell Ward 2473106 Walter Moore. 74 234863, Spr, 4 Mech Sec, IW & D, RE WESTBOURNE ROAD

I think he only ever saw the ribbons Sylvia, he doesn't have the medals, unfortunately

Selly Oak Boy. I have sent you a private message. Barrie

This is interesting mate. His death appears twice on the death registers in Birmingham on the Apr-May-Jun Qtr of 1960. Once as Albert Peters and once as Albert Seazell. In each case the reference is 9c 451. Will be in touch later. Barrie.

Had a look through the births for 1880-1890. There were only two births registered inside these dates for an Albert Peters. One in 1888 and one in 1890. The one in 1890 looks interesting, because there are attestation papers for an Albert Peters who joined on an 8 year engagement in 1908...

Sorry about that. Closed the post before I'd finished. :redface: Regarding the photo and the medal ribbons. Have you any evidence that links the photo and the ribbons? Did you have any other relatives that fought in WWI? Could the ribbons be theirs. You see where I'm going here, the...

I had a look at 34 St Stephens Rd on the nearest electoral roll to 1919, which is the 1912, the voter there is a Frank Palfrey. There is no listing for No 34 on the 1918 absent voters list (servicemen) Here is the 1912 electoral roll. Barrie.

You are quite right about the WWI army records Carol. Approx 2/3 of them were lost in the blitz during WWII. I'm sorry that I cannot be more help to you. Barrie.

The only Birmingham electoral roll I have been able to find him on, is the 1935 electoral roll. He is shown as Albert Peters. Barrie

This looks like William and Beatrice in 1930 and 1935.

Carol. I've been trying to relate William and Beatrice to an address, so that I could try and find the same address on the 1918 absent voters list, so far without success. There are several men on the 1918 named William Sheppard, but I don't know which one is which. I will keep looking...

Carol. Did William and Beatrice have a son named Henry John? Barrie

My advice is to go to the link I have given you for The Long Long Trail. They are more knowledgable than me you will find. Barrie.

Carol. can you tell me when he married please, and what was the name of his wife? I've got a few credits left on the electoral roll site.:) just found out, lucky that. Barrie

Hi Carol. I'll have a go if you like. Was he born in B'Ham, and is that his full name? Barrie.

It means he was already in the army (TA) when the war started, so would already have had an army number. Have you tried contacting www.1914-1918.net The Long Long Trail. The people on there are very knowledgeable and helpful, give them all the info you have, and see how it goes. Barrie

I don't know if you have noticed Nick, but the attestation papers I posted for you are dated 1912. He was a Territorial Army Soldier when WWI started. Barrie.

I think its two different blokes mate. According to the medal card for G-59023 Charles W Rogers he never entered France (it would say the date he entered on the card) and he never got the star, either 1914 or 1915. Its a bit of a puzzle really. I think that perhaps he lost his own medals...
