« on: Saturday 17 May 08 20:36 BST (UK) »

I am looking for a person who lives close to Kew where London Archives hold WW1 records;
Ernest was born abt 1882; Unknown place of birth to date;
He was a comedian by trade, with the possiblity of acting;
Since I have been in touch with Vanda - Rootschatter; I think it is possible we have found Ernest's family and they appear to have come from Yorkshire;
Ernest married age 21 to my great aunt Blanche Young - 1903 in Grantham;
We have a copy of the marriage certificate which has given us proof of names and dates;
His father was Joseph Stevens a comedian by trade;
(family found by Vanda in - Otley- Joseph - is a comedian)
Ernest was in WW1 - regimental number - 52613 Manchester Regt;
We have copy of Ernest medal card; Cat - WO 372/19
1914-1920
We also have a copy of CWG certifcate which states he is buried in Aldershot Militery cemetery - he died 9 Mar 1919;
we are looking for some proof of his place of birth and also his war record which may give this;
two rumours from family are;
Rumour 1) That his brother in law (my grandfather pictured side) a stretcher bearer, brought ernest off the battle field and he was then sent home;
Rumour 2) Is that he was 3bn manchester regt which was a reservist regt. And they are supposed to have never left british shores; However if he was a reservist there is every chance he was sent to France;

This would be such a find even though it is a big ask.

To save duplication of effort this is to cross-reference some previous threads so that people know what research has been done already on this family:

Eise is just looking for someone to do a look-up in the WW1 records at Kew.
