WFA pension records coming to Ancestry
« on: Tuesday 19 December 17 21:22 GMT (UK) »
Just seen on Great War Forum that the pension records held by Western Front Association are to be digitised and put on Ancestry -no timelines yet.

Another invaluable resource  :)

Ady
Lowe(Lower Gornall-Castleford)
Blackburn (Castleford)
Sidwell(Ledsham)
Fairburn(Hartshead)
Wood(Liversedge)
Tallon (Whittington Lancs/Hartshead West Yorkshire)

Researching all Great War soldiers from the Spen Valley of West Yorkshire Especially lads from the Cleckheaton Company of 1/4th West Riding Regiment.

Are they likely to be on fold 3 rather than ancestry.  Ancestry seems to be putting other forces records there.  :-\
