Stephen Nulty Posted 22 November , 2004 Author Share Posted 22 November , 2004 Thanks, Terry. That was probably the one answer I didn’t want as it still leaves two possibles !!!! I have one Frederick Golledge aged 15 in 1901 and another aged 9. Both were living in Hackney at the time. The 15 y.o. was living with his 39 year old widowed mother Rebecca at No 24, Brooksbys Walk, Hackney. He is recorded as born in West Ham. The 9 y.o. is an inmate at the Sidney Road Children’s Home in Hackney. His place of birth is recorded as “Not Known”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will O'Brien Posted 22 November , 2004 Share Posted 22 November , 2004 Frederick's online MIC index entry can be seen here. It would appear that he landed in France as a Gunner & obtained several promotions in the field before his death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
