Hi All,
Sorry to ask for help again but I'm stuck again.
I'm trying to find out about 65046 Pte Joseph Harrison, 12/13 Northumberland Fusiliers, he's buried in our local cemetery and Harrison is my wife's maiden name. I'd hate to think of a possible relative being so close to home but lying unknown to the family.
I know he previously served as 36783 with the 8th Bn East Yorkshire Regiment and also know he had a silver war badge number B/301899.
He joined 23 May 1917 (according to his medal card) and was discharged 11 Sep 1919 as unfit for service (according to the SWB record) and has been buried in a CWCG grave having died 9 Dec 1920.
He is on the CWGC website and is also listed on the Tynemouth WW1 Commemoration Project's database.
I can find him on the 1911 census living with his mother, Mary Ann and his brother and sister which says he was born around 1899 in Cullercoats and I believe his father was also called Joseph (born 1868 in Cullercoats and died 1909), but I can't get any further back than the 1901 census to try and find a link to our family.
Can anyone help find any more information about him or suggest places to look to find out what happened to him?
Thanks a lot,
Michael
