World War One / WW1 Alfred Wilde
« on: Tuesday 14 January 14 16:38 GMT (UK)  »
Help please.  Trying to find info regarding Alfred Wilde b9/12/1889 Shropshire. (parents Robert & Ann Wilde)
He was my grandfather who did not speak of ww1 much only he went through from start to finish ending the last 6 months as PoW in Bulgaria. Was in major battles at the Somme. I got this information out of him very late in his life but I did not ask about his regiment. Now I have the almost impossible task of trying to trace his military records!
Can anyone help. I have had a half hearted attempt but failed and I do understand that a large portion of the records were burnt, One of his brothers, William (KSLI) was KIA 20/11/1917.

Shropshire Lookup Requests / Info on Richard Pugh Pontesbury Hill
« on: Thursday 15 February 07 19:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hello All :)

Help please. I have a gt grandfather Richard Pugh 1853 - 1909 lived and died in Pontesbury. In 1881 he was a rock blaster, in 1891 a stone quarry manager & in 1901 a stone quarry proprietor.
My question is how do I find out what quarry he owned, where could I get copies of deeds or maps of the quarry. I think it would be on or near Pontesbury Hill, Nills maybe???
Unfortunately not still in the family mores the pity  :'(
Any information would be greatfully received.
Mike.
