Thank you Shirley.
I think I have everything else for John but only found the WW1 entry this morning and still can't find it on CWGC

Haven’t got access to fold 3 but it’s probably just the record the transcription has been made from

I did wonder but according to Ancestry the original image of the document may have more details
Thank you for checking Shirley, I may send an e-mail to CWGC.

Thank you Shirley and Maddie.
Maddie - the service number matches the info. I had but John was not born in Ardwick
Shirley - birth place is correct but different service number so I'll check it out on CWGC

Sorry Maddie didn't see rest of your message

My John's sister was Annie Astbury so that fits.
Unexpected visitor so will have to leave it for now but many thanks to both of you.

The record posted by Maddie says he was discharged as unfit on 21/11/1915 - not that he died then.

If he didn't die in service, he won't be on the CWGC site - and he certainly doesn't seem to be.

Well, he must have died between 1915 and 1918 - unless he and Annie divorced.

The middle initial is N, but very blurred on image:

Hi I'm back.
Thanks Shirley the John Lamb who died in 1917 is my gr gr Uncle so not the same one.
Thanks Argyllgran I was going to look for a re-marriage for Annie this afternoon, you've saved me a job !
I think I'll definitely contact CWGC and see if they can help.

Looked for a death after 1915 but before 1918 in case he was discharged then died of injuries later.
There is one in 1916, wrong age and totally wrong area but you never know not many Lamb's with a middle name of Hulme.
Maybe he was in a hospital

This may be the one whose death has been posted above

Could be Erika. Thanks

I do have a John Lamb on my family gravestone who died in 1917 but it's not the one above.
My John was married to Jane.
