Hi, I'm hoping someone may be able to help me or maybe point me in the right direction.
I am looking for information on my Great Grandfather who was a PTE in the Army name of Frederick George Bryer (I don't know year of birth) Service No 3765 (I have his Medals) he was in 1- LOND .R He was a POW (but don't know where)
The Medals are (British War Medal 1914-1919
We think he got the star as well but don't know which one

He was married to Lucy Alice Carmille Moret they lived at St Pancas
They had a son (My Grandfather name Frank Alexander Bryer 25 Dept 1914
he was registered on the 4 Nov 1914

Here's Hoping,

I think that you will need to buy their wedding cert:

England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915
about Frederick G Bryer

Name: Frederick G Bryer
Spouse: Lucy A C Moret

Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1911
Registration district: Westminster
Inferred County: London
Volume Number: 1a
Page Number: 1148

The problem is that there are 2 marriages at around that time for a Frederick G Bryer - the other one married in Paddington in 1913.

When I look at the 1911 census, I can find only one and he is in Paddington, leading me to believe that he is not the one you want?

Also, I cannot locate Lucy on 1911 so you really need that cert to give you their ages and details of fathers.

What about this birth?

Name: BRYER, Frederick George
Registration district: [?] Pancras
County: London
Year of registration: 1880
Quarter of registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Volume no:1B
Page no:184

Here's this Frederick in 1891:

James Bryer 46
Louisa Bryer 39
Louisa Bryer 16
Fredrick Bryer 11
Kate Bryer 7
Frank Bryer 6
Florence Bryer 3

A Bryer family tree on another site gives the parents as James John Bryer and Louisa Maria Doxsey, married 1873.

You will definitely need the marriage certificate for Frederick George to see if this is the correct father
