Apologies if this has already been asked but during times of war would soldiers away fighting still be shown on the electoral roll at their last address? |

Thanks for that Jonesey. I will see if he is on there, I didn't know about the absent voters electoral register. I've not been able to find him anywhere on Ancestry but did find his brother though. I was always told he had silver kneecaps because of his injuries and that he learned to knit while he was in hospital. I would have thought he would have got a pension but there is nothing on Ancestry. |

Only a small percentage of WW1 records survived an enemy bombing raid during WW2 |

Thanks for that Flick, I was beginning to think maybe what I'd been told wasn't right, but can see now that the records may not have survived. |
