WWI Pensions Records look uo please
« on: Saturday 29 March 08 16:25 GMT (UK) »
Could someone with Ancestry subscription please look in in the WWI Pension Records for Owen Jones born Merionethshire. I have seen a possible in the index but can't view it without a subscription. I am hoping this guy was born c1872 and was pensioned off early in the war.

No but thanks for looking! I have a photograph of a man in uniform who I was told was Owen. However, I know Owen died in 1915 with a chest complaint. I was hoping he had enlisted then been pensioned off quickly. Looks like the man in the potograph may be someone else.

Hi Annie,
how about the following:

William Owen Jones
b. Merionthshire abt 1877.  (Age given as 20 on attestation - 1897)

Joined the Kings Royal Rifle Corps in Liverpool.  Was a draper prior to enlisting.

Looks like he picked up a bullet wound the the lower leg in 1915.

Are you sure your chap died in 1915, as this one goes on after that date.

I can send you the pages if this is yer fella (and there's quite a few pages!).

Thanks Thudnut but not mine. He was a slate quarryman, middle name Arthur. He died in January 1915.
