Fletcher, just starting

[dlanod]

Thank you all so much so far. Definately some fun interesting work ahead. Would love to track down where his siblings went. As it stands now my brother and I have no known relations on our Fletcher side. Just kind of stopped with Albert

We where never sure 4 or 5 only there where more than Albert and James. Did not know Annie passed young. This all new

If you ordered William and Roses birth PDFs you would have exact dates of birth, then could look in the 1939 register to see if they are there (as they might have remained in England)

FLETCHER, JAMES       SMITH     Order
GRO Reference: 1900  J Quarter in WARWICK  Volume 06D  Page 667. This is the one I fancy

You were right!

This is his baptism entry at St Paul, Warwick: Jomes Fletcher - Baptism Date: 28 Apr 1900

Father Samson showing as a Soldier at this time. On A/try, on their WWI Pension Ledgers and Index Cards, 1914-1923, there is a reference to Samson:

Name: Samson Fletcher
Rank: Pnr
Birth Date: 1870
Residence Place: Warwick
Military Service Region: Midlands, England
Discharge Date: 31 Oct 1917
Service Number: 160756
Regiment:    R. E.
Reference Number: 6/MF/No.1098

I don't have access to the document. Does anyone know what info these documents include? Wondering whether it could include anything on his children is they were down as dependants in any way?

Added: there are also WW1 enlistment papers with a reference to pension etc. Nothing re children on those that I can see. Wife Ellen showing with marriage in 1915. Quite a few papes that give some details on him (service/health etc).

dlanod, if you have access to Ancestry, there is a Fletcher family tree there www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/22262071/person/1732465281/facts that you might find of interest if you want follow Samson back to his family origins.

They don't have anything on his children though.
