My Grandfather john Henry came from somewhere nearby and sang as a choirboy in wrexham Cathedral. He was a miner and seved as a medic in WW1 . He then worked at Cemel Laird as an engineer before moving to Wolverhampton in 1922 to become trainer of Wolverhampton Wanderers..He had 4 sons Jack, Bert, Harold and Bill. Can anyone please help ?

Thats Brilliant THANK YOU

Think you need to get the marriage cert to confirm details of info posted before you add them to your tree.There may be army records on Ancestry site so would help to have approx year of birth .Do you have any medals as these would have his army no. which again would help to find correct records

Merv

I agree with jansmith, you must confirm the info before adding to your tree..

I had a look for army records on Ancestry but nothing stands out as being your chap...

If you have any more info, that may help identify him....I shall take another look.
