Impossible Task

[tinad08]

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me, I would like to find the name of a young man back in 1914 thru 1919, that worked at the National Shell Factory in Grimsby.  He dated a Nellie ( Dolly) Watson, who also worked there.  The young man joined the Army and was in artillery, he unfortunately died in the war. I was hoping that maybe someone knew his family or the name of his family. I know there isn't anything to go by, that is why it is an impossible task.   If anyone could point me in a direction that would be great.
Thanks Tdimmitt

Perhaps a letter/email to a local newspaper;  there might just be some relatives of Nellie still in the area who have information or memories.

If you google List of absent voters grimsby 1919 it may come up with name you will have to trawl the list but don't forget this is for voters so anyone over 21 do you know Nellie's age at the time

There are about 5 or 6 listed in artillery you could then cross refer them to the cwgc.org to see if the death is listed

It was in 1918 women were given the right to vote, and only for aged 30 and over.

Thanks for all the info, I will go and check it all out. It is hard when you don't know the young mans name, which is what I am trying to find.  But all avenues are worth checking out. Thanks to all
