Hi Mack

A few are rellies but not many.  Four years ago I started to put all my info from the local war memorial etc. on the web http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gypsy/roh.htm so it might help others but I never got round to finishing it

Yesterday, I decided that I had better do something about finishing it hence a couple of enquiries BUT it's far too mammoth a task to ask anybody to help in any great way!  And I've lots more names to add (particulary R-Z WW1) when I dig out my old paper notes

I don't have anything to hand (apart from census) and the Sandgate PRs aren't held locally as far as I am aware but there is a Sam J AYRISS age 9 in the 1901 census born Sandgate a visitor in Islington RG13/191 folio 160 page 20 with some other family members which might fit with being age 24 at death (there is also the younger Samuel J in Sandgate with his parents).  I can post the full details from the census and investigate further if you wish.  He's not on the Folkestone Roll of Honour nor war memorial but he may be on the Sandgate one.  I can get information from the original applications for the Folkestone Roll of Honour/Certificates of Glory but I don't know of anything for Sandgate

I've had a clearer look and this does look the better fit ......................

1901

Visitors at 45 Shepperton Road, Islington

Sally E AYRISS wid 31 b.Sandgate
Sam J 9 b.Sandgate
William J 7 b.Sandgate

So it looks probable that he was the son of Mrs S E AYRISS as per CWGC records
