New to this so please be patient!!. My father was born
in Surrey,England around 1897. Blvd to be Wandsworth.
He lied about his age and served in France during the 14-18 war.(Probably 15 or 16 yrs old). He is also blvd to have married below his class & wed my mum,Margaret Alice Gould in Battersea,South London. So far the only document I have is his death certificate. (Actual d.o.b. ?) He had brothers Horace & Frank(Francis ?) and a sister blvd Emily. He had very little contact with his family after he wed so details are scarce. I am trying to find some contacts who know anything about them. The impression I get is that the family lived in a large house on Wandsworth Common so must have been fairly well of.Any help would be appreciated. I live at Bromley,Kent, England and was born in Battersea ,London, SW11.
