Thanx Doug

Could you do a check on the other Samuel Hiltons for me? That isn't the one I'm looking for. Mine was born about 1895 in Wolverhampton

Also I know you have a website about the war memorials in Wolverhampton. Do you happen to have a list of the names on each memorial? I don't even know if he is listed on one

Thanx Doug

Thats a great help I have checked all the memorials on your site but he doesn't appear to be on any of them.

There are several war graves in Bilston Cemetary - do you want me to take a note of the details when I'm over there and forward them on to you?

Is it possible that SKS could look up any records for GUNTER casualties in WW1 please? There is a possibility they were in the Welsh Guards or the "Queen's Regiment" (sorry I only have word of mouth to go by - no definite details). All lived in Glamorgan, S Wales.

I have located a medal card for a George E Gunter but I'm not sure if he is my relation? My Great Aunt is adamant that her Uncle (my G Grandfather's brother) George Elliot Gunter was lost in WW1 but the medal card I have found seems to indicate that he survived? She has also mentioned that "some of the other brothers were lost as well"???

Any information would be much appreciated  :)

Thaks for the offer,but I live 2 mins from the cemetery and have wandered around it many times.

Nigel
The answer to your question is no,SDGW gives where born,enlisted and residence on enlisting and also how the person died e.g killed in action died of wounds.
I will have a look on my SDGW for any Gunters
