Look up CD - Soldiers killed in WWI
« on: Wednesday 02 March 05 13:13 GMT (UK) »
Would you check and see if Percy Camplin Afford is listed on your CD.  He was the son of
Jessie (Freeman) and Arthur Edward Afford.  He was born in 1894 in Barnsley.  In 1901
he lived in Wombwell with his maternal grandparents Joseph and Emma Freeman.  I hope
this enough information for you to make a search.

If don't have CD how would a person get this informaton

I don't have the cd, but have found this website very helpful for finding relatives that died in the war.
http://www.cwgc.org/cwgcinternet/search.aspx

Unfortunately I couldn't find your relative on this site.
Good luck with your search.

You should also check www.rollofhonour.com which has a potted biography for as many of the casualties as possible. The coverage is not 100%, but it is worth a look if you know where your ancestor lived. If you do have some info about someone and the record is incorrect, they will also happily change what they have.

Nick suggested the www.rollofhonour.com web site. I tried this and was informed the site had been deactivated. This is possibly the same site (and works) http://www.roll-of-honour.com/
