Thanks for that Boo. Am I correct to assume that only DRO hold these records?

Hi Cimbrio,
Thanks for you reply. There is a niggle at the back of my mind saying that Cornforth records have gone missing, but I'll give this a try again.

According to the 1911 census, Thomas Robinson (b 1861) and his wife Margaret, nee Blenkiron, (1859-1947) had 10 children. Only 5 of these survived until 1911. I have found the 5 who who did and 3 of the 5 who did not. These are:
Christopher (Kit) 1883
James 1886-1888
John 1890-1891
James W 1893-1978
Margaret 1896-1989
Alice 1900
Annie 1902-1903
Annie 1904
I would be grateful for any information regarding the missing two.

Bancroft's School, Woodford is running a project to recognize and honour former pupils who died as a consequence of fighting in WW1. Part of this programme is to lay wreathes. I have provided them with information about one of my second cousins. Because he died in 1920 as a result of injuries sustained earlier, he is not covered by the War Graves Commission and I have been unable to locate his grave. Can anyone help?
The details I have of Frederick are:
BORN July-Sept 1897 Plumstead. Ref: Woolwich 1D 1365.
BAPTISM 7th March 1906, Plumstead St Margaret.
DIED 17th June 1920, Camberwell House, Peckham, Surrey.
HOME ADDRESS 166 Ancona Road Plumstead

Armed Forces / Military Records for Napoleonic Wars
« on: Monday 25 November 13 16:33 GMT (UK) »
I recently found the tattered remains of Thomas Middlemast's (my Great Grandfather) army discharge papers dated 1816. These show that he was in the Third Regiment of Foot Guards (Scots Guards) during the latter part of the Napoleonic Wars. I contacted the regiment to find out his battalion and any other details of his involvement. They told me that a fire had destroyed the part of their records that contained his service record.
I've tried The National Archives, Ancestry/Genes Reunited/FindMyPast/etc., but found nothing. Can anyone suggest alternative sources?
