I have a Hardacre who would have been a bit long in tooth for the Boer War who also they ask did he die a war hero in WW11 but the Hardacre who did get a medal in WW1 have they asked about. As for hot matches well they do give one a clue or two but???

Ray I have two cousins {not my cousins ~ cousins to each other} both Stephen William L both in same year but in adjoining towns ones father was Stephen one's William so birth's are sorted both went to war {WW1} one returned a hero and one died a hero both in France but I don't know which one returned to England settled in a different town and married ~ there are clues but you need to be Miss Marple to unravel them x

1849, the other was,nt born until 1912

So er, GR, what do you think !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
