yes thats him christine

would that help in tracing his war records or pension/service records do you think

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.

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

Christine

ok kathleen I didnt know that.

christine, no probs thanks for trying any info at all on him would be wonderful for my friend

Hi Denise i just found a herbert graham on ancestry ww1 pensions. im not a member to open it though. you may want to take a look.

Because of his high issue number he may not have been a regular soldier but on territoral stand by,,reserve.........so wont have any service records,or pension records,

there are a number on ancestry but none are him,,,,

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