Thank you Sam from Stoke, it appears to be for persons left off (bless them). I have tried, but with such a massively common name as James Smith it is too difficult to find, as they do not put their home addresses anywhere that I could find. I just wondered if they were eventually put in the BMD in this country. Thank you for your help.

Have you looked on the CWGC site? It he died in WWI then he should be recorded on there.

I would be grateful for any assistance. A relative died in France fighting in WW1 and I am wondering if his death would be registered in England, perhaps at his residence town. Would anyone know? I am having a lot of problems finding him as I have an approximate dob and dod. Also his name is Smith which does not help.

If anyone knows about registering the death I would be very grateful.

Please.
