Lisa I am very sorry but I have not a clue the whole family are very eluisve (been trying for over 4 years not and never get anywhere)the problem is that I do not have a place of birth for Edward Watson (snr) or his son Arthur Edward Watson (the only evidence I have for sure is that Arthur Edward Watson married in 1922 in Stratford London.

Thank you for looking it is very much appreciated.

Hi Paula,

I've done a search for Edward and have come up with information for a wife in Scotland as the correspondance address.
Another address was - 3rd Gloucestershire Regiment, Maidstone.
Could this be your Edward?

Sorry not been on earlier been flitting back and forth this evening.

Ah..........that is the question no definite proof I THINK he was born in 1900 (which would have only made him 15 according to medal card) and I THINK the area may be West Ham.

Hi I have been trying to find a very elusive relative and with the help of someone on this site I have been given a POSSIBLE piece of information

I was wondering if anyone is visiting the Nat. Archives whether they could do a look-up for me. Apparently this information came from Ancestry and the person who gave it to me said there was no information on the Medal Card.

Therefore I am looking to find out what the Service Records shows. if indeed it is the correct person.

Name: Arthur Edward Watson
Regiment or Corps: Royal Army Service Corps
Regimental number: S/307289

Anyway who can help it would be very much appreciated not sure if there is a cost involved.

Many thanks

Paula
