Family History Beginners Board / Re: Finding information about my great grandad
« on: Thursday 14 August 14 20:11 BST (UK) »
Hi again
I spoke to my husband's uncle but he cannot remember any distant relatives called John. He doesn't even remember his grandfather Reuben but I think he died young. He only seems to remember his Uncle Albert (not Gilbert, as was transcribed from the 1911 census). He lost an eye during WW1 and was probably quite well known in Stalybridge. So it would appear that any family link would be from way way back. Hope you had better luck with your search for John's military history.
Kind regards, S
