There are no births or marriages in Cornwall for a Sidney Bland according to Freebmd so it doesn't look as if he originally came from there. How do you know that he died in WW1?

The only Naomi Bland on Freebmd was born in Lancaster, June  quarter 1842.

As far as I can see  there are only 2 recorded deaths of a Sidney Bland in WW1


The one previously mentioned:  Sidney J Bland hertfordshire Regiment, born Northamptonshire

and  Sidney Bland born Shefford Bedfordshire , Corps of Royal Engineers 60341 died 18th April 1918 Mesopotamia.
