Yes, there were 10 siblings in all so mother must have been busy….

Thanks for the steers on Ernest which I'd already got. His mother died 'of a broken heart' days after father broke his neck in riding accident.

George- if he emigrated it seems a bit odd that his name is included on the Ely Cathedral memorial? Mind you, there were many other siblings to ensure he was not forgotten if he was killed as a civilian no matter where he was. His parents died in 1906.
EW- Ernest William Benjamin- drowned in the RNR; Cape Wrath. He had served in SA in the Boer War so perhaps told brother George about SA opportunities? Does the US have an online list of WW1 casualties?

Thanks everyone.
George is the GH Wormell on the Ely Cathedral memorial (the lost ancestors image). I‘ve got no info on him re Canada and Australia.
Mystery….
For ShaunJ- OE and EW Wormald (two of Georges’ brothers who were also killed) were both married so presumably their wives would the NoK? I think one needs army number/ Regt for record purpose. I don’t even know if he was in uniform…. He’s not in Jutland casualty lists.

Hi, Thank you for your response and interest. I’ve just discovered Rootschat so am resuming my research on George having put all I know about the Wormell/Wormald/Tomlinson on Ancestry some years ago.
George’s middle name is definitely Hardinge as, in addition to census records, the name occurs in associated relative names. His birth year is 1877 not 1875 as I originally posted.
The 1901 census is my last documentary record of him so I don’t know if he was married. He would have been 39 on outbreak of WW1 which is a bit old for joining up?
The surname spelling- some of his numerous siblings changed their birth surname to Wormald for some reason- whether he did I know not.
The search continues…
Thanks.

Hi WW1 research experts,
I'm trying to find out about why my great uncle's name is on the Cambs village of Weston Colville's
WW1 war dead memorial tablet in Ely Cathedral. He was born in Weston Colville in 1875 and the only other written record of him is in the 1901 census where he's recorded as being in Long Sutton, Lincs. I've found details of his two brothers who were also WW1 fatalities.
There's nothing in family documentation about him and no record of him in the CWG records.
Nor have I found out any details about which Service, if any, he was in. Ancestry has produced no record of him so I'm stuck.
Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.

Armed Forces / Re: General Sir Alexander WALLACE and family in India pre 1903

Hi All,
Researching more about Maj Gen Sir A Wallace (my wife's one of his great grand daughters through the male line) via Google, I have come across Rootschat and all these posts.
Like other newbies I'm in awe of what you have all researched about the Wallaces and hope this finds you all (still) alive and posting.
Regards,
Robert
PS Jim C's the man for Wallace family tree stuff
