Pte 11232 Isaac Stewart
« on: Wednesday 26 October 22 18:49 BST (UK) »
There is a death record of this soldier, serving with the Highland Light Infantry, on 20 February 1915 in France or Flanders. The death record says 'D of D' and the medal card says 'PoW'.

I would like to know if he was the son of Alexander Stewart and Christina Glencorse, born 7 March 1883 in Glasgow.

I've tried CWGC, which doesn't mention him at all (why not?) and FindMyPast.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Brilliant, thanks, Rosie. That clinches it - he's definitely the one I'm looking for.

And the bonus is that it doesn't mention his brother William, so that cuts the time frame in which I need to look for him.

Thanks, both.

How long after a PoW's death would the Register of Effects be compiled? Or to put it another way, could his brother William have died after him?
