Thomas Harp Cheshire regiment
« on: Friday 12 January 07 06:10 GMT (UK) »
I have Thomas Harps Medal card He was a private ( 8012 )
He is listed as P of W ( prisoner of war ? ). I think he was the son of Thomas Harp 1866 and Elizabeth Emery 1868.
The date of entry on the card is 16/08/1914. please help.

I wish to know more about him, it says he was a prisoner
of war, but where did he serve ?where was he captured ?
CWGC has no record of him being a casualty or any record of a grave, so i assume he survived the war and made it home. If so where did he die ? where buried / Children ?
Desendants ? sorry but i am just curious.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Terry,

This is not my area of expertise so I hope others will chime in.

My husband's grandfather served in the Cheshire Regiment during the First World War.  My husband's father tried to find the records on a trip to England years ago but was told they were destroyed by bombing during the Second World War.

Looking at the National Archives website, it seems that some records survived and are available on microfilm at the archives.  I can't find a way of requesting a records search; if that's possible, I hope someone will let us both know.   :)

Cheshire BMD has a marriage for a Thomas Harp in 1907 but of course I don't know if it's him:

Have you got them in the 1901 census?

There's a Thomas H. Harp with wife Elizabeth A. but there's no son named Thomas with them.  When and where was Thomas (the son) born?

Regards,
Josephine

Hi Josephine If all else fails,- the LDS website has Military records by surname for the British Army for WW1. I am just about to order one for myself from the local LDS library.

Go to www.familysearch.org/
and do a search of the catalogue.

Thank you, Shirley!

My difficulty is that I don't have an LDS centre that is close enough for me to get to by public transit.   :'(
