World War One / Records... follow your gut instincts!

« on: Saturday 16 August 14 15:31 BST (UK) »

Just wanted to share this

Im currently working on a roll of honour for our local church St Peters Hartshead.WYR

Theres a lad on there Charles W Rennison who I've got lots of info on BUT all evidence is he's from York 30 miles away! how did he fit in?...Id just had an email from a distant relative too saying they had photo as well.... fantastic I'm thinking

But something was niggling me..... I just felt may have wrong lad.

After a couple of hours checking I searched again and a similar name pops up on Reform School admissions Leeds and a bit more delving finds this lad was sent to a Mr Dobbings Littlethorpe Hartshead....to top it off it says joined 3/4th West Ridings ....Back to the medal Rolls ....Hes mis transcribed Renninson ...Presumed dead 3rd Sept 1916 with 1/4th West Ridings the local TF unit
It all fits neatly into place now

So all you researchers who are hitting brick walls etc follow your gut instincts you will prevail !
Still can't find Mr Dobbings on the census though somewhere in Liversedge??
