Chris, have you thought about this one (possible spelling error) ???

Birth registration Joseph Christopher SACKETT in the March quarter 1892 Hereford registration district ref. 6a 460 (the ref. might need checking as middle digit not quite clear)

Casalguidi,

It must be him ;D ;D  It must be a spelling error as you said.
I checked 1891 & 1901 and there are no Sacketts in Hereford - it must have been that Shropshire/Herefordshire accent ;D

A bonus - in 1891 I found another part of the family mistranscribed as Sackett in Shropshire.

Thanks

Yes, I would think it's likely to be him then :)

Hi Anne,

I will. 
I'm going to phone Hereford in the morning to check that parents are correct before I order the cert.
Thanks to you and Casalguidi from only having a name from CWGC I now know quite a lot about Joseph Christopher and he no longer "Died Age Unknown"
I will let you know what Hereford has to say.

Hi Pete

Thanks for that.

I've got back as far as Elizabeth 1738 (Worthen) and her parents so the information will help.

Thanks

Anne & Casalguidi,

I contacted Hereford Registry Office today and they confirmed the surname as Sockett not Sackett as the GRO has. 
So he fits neatly into the tree.  I hope that I can get all his records changed to match the facts.

Thank you both very much for your help.
Chris

p s
One problem ;)  When I downloaded his medal card there were 5 other family members on the same sheet 4 of whom I can't identify.  So I will probably be crying for help again.
