Shelley James Christian

[theodore]

Seeking information on James C. Shelley. Born 1890 Birmingham and married Alice M.N. Dallaway in 1913. Father and mother could be John Shelley and Lizzie. Possible children Amanda b.1921, Dulcie V. b. 1923, Gladys A. b. 1925 and James C. b. 1927. James served in the Worcestershire Regiment and the Labour Corps during WW1 and it's his army service details that I'm seeking.

Regards

Peter

Hi Shera,

Thank you very much for your information. It is the right man as his army number and rank for the Labour Corps tally with info I already have on him.

Regards

Hi Shera,

Thanks again for info.

Where can I get Absent Voters lists from? This would be very helpful in my research on the 2nd Battalion Worcesterhire Regiment 1914.
