need advise please how to search for ww1 records, as sites say its free to search then they ask you to pay, only i have very little details so not sure where or how to start,
looking for my grandfather who fought in france and survived a gas attack, i think he was in the medical corps , name of henry bibby born in1894 edmonton middlesex , any help would be appreciated thanks

thank you for your reply, i will try to contact the record office, i will not give up just yet,
                                            thanks,,,

thank you for your help,, this does seem correct,,, i wonder what connection all the walpoles had in norfolk,, considering the  17th century  population , and the large number of children born to each family, and their movement in the county,
i read the marriage record of william and jane , he came from hales norfolk, but married in raveningham,, moved to cawston and his children moved to east bilney,
the closest place to hales is lodden,,on wikipedia,  i found an estate belonging to hobarts in lodden ,; hales hall , built by robert walpole houghton , also a john and william walpole had some legal row over land on this estate in 1500s ,
i wonder if any records of  walpoles,, in hales,, more questions than answers,,  smayne

can any one help ; walpole family,,, my ancestors were william walpole married jane reeve in cawston norfolk about 1748,  william was born in cawston 1727, cannot find anything about this family other than the local pub in 1800s was called walpole arms,,,

trying to find his parents, only clue is that there was a william walpole born 1693 in houghton norfolk, son of robert esquire walpole of houghton,,
 story through the family was that the family were desendants of the walpoles of houghton hall, 

robert walpole esquire had 19 children , 9 survived , one being robert walpole mp,
but others and their desendants seem to not have records ,,, but a number of walpole families in and around norfolk in1700s, any clues would be great thanks
