Thanks Mike wondering how he ended up in Denbighshire, he was born in Sunderland lived in Bishop Auckland even married there to an Annie Brown 1917 can't see children for him, nor any Army records

Florrie was his sister sorry not daughter.

Wondering if an ELLEN PRATT is on the list I only have the basic sub you see so can't see the area's only names, Ellen Pratt would have been in the Coventry area of Warwickshire Foleshill maybe ...she was born 1886, lost her husband in WW1.

Thank you once again Col xx

Hi Mike yes that's Ellen and Edward Joseph, I did see the Ellen Pratt marriage in Foleshill and thought it maybe her, but I also thought it could be her eldest daughter Marjorie Ellen.
I have contacted someone on here who has Harry Randle in their tree, but no reply as yet.
Seen as though I couldn't find a Marjorie Ellen Pratt marriage this is why I assumed it could be the daughter..the other two sisters both died in Coventry as spinsters by the looks of it, and as for the brother Charles Edward born 1907 Budbrooke Barracks Warwick I cant see a marriage for him.

I have Edward Josephs Probate, its him my Great Uncle who I have been concentrating on he had a long career in the Royal Warwicks even fought in the sudan, I have tried everything to try and get a photo, he was with the 1st Battalion at first then moved to the 10th in 1914, I have a few newspaper items about his death, but would so love to see a face..

thank you for all your help Mike
