Guest paulomac Posted 11 October , 2004 Share Posted 11 October , 2004 Hi all, I'm wondering whether anyone knows of a resource where I could find some information on a relative. All I know is that his name is William Gale, and he was presented with the Distinguished Service Medal. He worked as a medical officer and was born Worcestershire, Kidderminster around 1894. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Nulty Posted 12 October , 2004 Share Posted 12 October , 2004 Terry Not sure if this is already known, but here we go anyway. The 1901 census has Arthur William Gale, aged 6 and born in Kidderminster. He is residing at 13 Rack Fields, Kidderminster. Also there are father John (34), a carpet weaver, mother Annie (35), brother John (8), and sisters Savinio (13), Nellie (10), Annie (9) and Beatrice (1). Image available if you want it.
