Hi all,
I'm currently researching the names on the WW1/WW2 memorial at a nearby church in North Waltham. I have managed to identify all who are commemorated apart from one individual, listed only as A Kingston who, I believe, fell in WW1 (WW2 fallen are listed separately). Unfortunately, I have no first name, rank or branch of service.
I have checked the 1911 census but can find no obvious link to the village (or nearby Popham), for anyone with the surname of Kingston. Looking at the available information on the CWGC website doesn't give me any firm starting point either. Ancestry has given me a few leads, but none have resulted in finding a male, with the initial 'A' with links to the area.
I believe that there may be two documents worth checking at the Hampshire Record Office, but I will have to wait until Covid restrictions are relaxed/lifted. Whilst I wait for that opportunity, I wonder if anyone has any other ideas/suggestions I could look at, in the meantime, in order to positively identify this individual.
Many thanks, in advance.
