Peter Beckett Posted 26 September , 2003 Author Share Posted 26 September , 2003 Many thanks to both Johns. I had the 1901 census on line, Samuel Mugridge is listed as labourer in a brickyard in Islington, which explains why he was a mate of my Grandfather who was a builder. It is interesting that Other information in your post is confirmed, except King's service no. is shown as 19313 as in the CWGC and his grave both have 49313 Again thankyou Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
