His family was living in Munster Road when he joined up in 1914, and this is the address on the passenger list when he emigrated in 1918.
He has the same name in his military records.
He emigrated to America under the name James Francis Wemyss.

London and Middlesex / James Francis Stephen Wemyss

According to his army records, JFS Wemyss was born in Fulham in 1888, and thereafter attended St Thomas's School and worked as a woollen salesman. His family home was in Munster Road.
Can I find his birth or census records? I cannot. WHY?

I note that when he emigrated in 1918 (after being court martialled) he gave his nationality as Irish, however.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

*dancing round room*
I should have realised that although Discovery listed him as JES that it might be wrong. In my defence I found two others yesterday despite their misspelt names!
Thank you both very much indeed!

This is such an unusual name but I can find nothing else about this chap except his medal card! It would be fantastic even to get his first names, anything else would be a bonus. Discovery, Ancestry and FindMyPast have not helped me but I'm wondering whether someone out there can do better ...???

I think I know why he was on the 'suspense list' but need more information to be sure!

Thank you all for your contributions, particularly the obituary. Sounds like a pretty nice life!

The or a Lascelles family does have connections to the Royal family......your corgi might know?  ;)
You're correct, they do have royal links!
My corgi says, however, that the Lascelles and the royals are newcomers compared to her -- apparently there were corgis in Wales before the 10th century!
