HI My friends Grand Father James Kelly : Born in Liverpool ( dies 1965 ) Kings Liverpool .

I have posted on GWF and have some information but my question to the Wizz's here :

Here is their info:

4649   Brooks enlisted in 3/7 on the 23 June 1915. He signed the Imperial and General Service Obligation to serve overseas on enlistment in Bootle.  He joined the BEF 16 August 1916.
4652 Chicken enlisted in 3/7 on the 25 June 1915. He signed the Imperial Obligation to serve overseas on enlistment in Bootle.  He embarked Southampton 28 February 1916.
4670 enlisted in 3/7 on the 29 June 1915. Deserter.
4688 enlisted in the 3/7 Battalion on 29 June 1915.  He was discharged a month later in Bootle, under age.
 
So we can say with a reasonable degree of certainty he enlisted in the 3/7 KLR a third line or reserve unit of the Territorial Force on or around the 29th June 1915 in Bootle.
 
We know from his medal roll he did not go overseas until after 31/12/1915.  There is a pencil note in the Roll under the 7th King’s L’Pool Regt which says, 17 Btn “  “ which I take as the 1/7.  It therefore seems likely he was in the February draft, but I wouldn’t bet the house on it (perhaps a small wager!)
 
 

Would any experts here have any info on his movements ?

Photo attached , thanks for your help in advance as always .

Can I request some assistance from the great experts on this forum.

I have a neighbour who we have discussed their family history . I have a FindMyPast sub

up in the census records of 1901 -1911 .

My dear old 2nd cousin has now thrown me in a right spin with my family history .Could be a wild goose chase but hey ho!

Looking for tips on which site to hit for details of my Grans brother in WW1 . Which site do you
Recommend ? His name was Robert Jones born in Liverpool 1901. We know that his eldest brother
Was in the merchant navy and died 1918 but she is adamant that his brother survived ( sadly lacking details with what service etc ) . I appreciate the name is a disaster for family history but as you all know , any snippets are most welcome.

Hi friends . My cousin & I were clearing out his Mums shed and found a photo of my cousin & his mum ! Great find but badly damaged .

Any takers on this one by the wizards !
