Information on a John H Armstrong

[antolinsoldado]

Hello, I am looking for military information on a John H Armstrong. He was born in 1893 in Wigan to John Armstrong and Sarah Ann.

Thanks in advance

[rosie99]

There are 3 John Armstrong with births registered in Wigan in 1893 but no John H Armstrong  . What was Sarah Ann's maiden name

[rosie99]

Is this his baptism with no middle name

Baptism: 24 Apr 1893 All Saints, Wigan, Lancashire
John Armstrong - [Child] of John Armstrong & Sarah Ann
Born: 1 Apr
Abode: Scholes
Occupation: Collier

Over 60% of WW1 service records were destroyed during the WW2 blitz.  Those that survived are available on the subscription sites such as Ancestry & FindMyPast

There is no service record on Ancestry

The WW1 Medal Roll Index has 13 John H Armstrong entries so you would need to supply details of his regiment & if possible his service number to determine the correct entry

You haven't given his middle name but there is no John H Armstrong birth in Wigan on freebmd between 1892-1894.  One in Liverpool & one in Burnley  www.freebmd.org.uk

Where does he fit into your FH?   Do you have him on the 1901/1911/1921 census with a middle name.  What was his middle name?

Is there any possibility you may have the wrong person?
