The Herbert Graham on the Ancestry Pensions list has a father called James, not Jeremiah.

Sorry Denise I had misread the post and thought you hadn't been able to trace him and his family on census.

Not everyone got an army pension, so you won't necessarily find him on Ancestry army pension records.

A lot of WW1 army records were destroyed. You can check with the National Archives to see if his survived.

hi I have a marrrige cert, on it, it shows HERBERT GRAHAM PRIVATE IN RG OR RE CANT READ IT WITH NUMBER 338631 there seems to be a capital D or an o maybe over the last three.
no one can trace this man, why he was born 1885 lived in 1918 prestwich, manchester area, fathers name jeremiah graham, its my friends grandfather and it would just have been lovely for her to see any information on his war years.
he doesnt have a middle name on his marriage cert, but who knows thanks
