I have just found a record for a John W Nutt who died in 1918 via this site but what do I do next please? I have Army A/2/Cpl. Regiment R.E. number 44091 volume E.2. page 282. Where do I go to find out if this is my relative? Please can anyone hlep. thanks Jo.

Hello Jo,

Where was your ancestor from, when was he born?

Hi, He was born 1888 St Pancras Middx and the W stands for Walton. Thanks

Jo, do you mean you found the record via GR?

I have looked on Ancestry but can't find anything. Also on the CWG site, again nothing.

Before going any further and spending maybe unnecessary money, I'd be patient, wait and see if a member on here can find anything.

Same as Libby cant find any details on CWGC or Ancestry,
which is very strange, even looked at all those with a name variation but nothing found with that Army number you have given.

Thanks everyone...
I searched on here for deaths WW1 and it came up with a John W Nutt. I have my John Walton Nutt in 1901 he is in the Kentish Town Industrial School and is 13 - I could not find him in 1911 so I had suspected that maybe he could have died in WW1. This could be him but how do I check? I have just found a John W Hutt number 44091 Royal Engineers (the RE) on 'find my past' but i don't have credits for that. I have a volume and page number for the death but where do i find this? Jo
Hope this all makes sense.

Yes, thanks George - that's him... but then he disappears hence my thoughts about his death in WW1. Please see previous post and thanks again.

A John W Nutt married Charlotte H King in Islington 1914.

Thanks Joan - so GRO cert may not name parents etc to prove he's my relative? the volume and page no. don't come up on Ancestry but then I suppose if it was overseas those deaths are different.

How do I prove he is my relative is the main question?

Thanks Libby for the marriage info I will look into that.

thanks everyone - i'll keep searching

Here's the record - looks as though as it's not your man.

HUTT, JOHN WINZER
Initials: J W
Nationality: United Kingdom
Rank: Corporal
Regiment/Service: Royal Engineers
Unit Text: 78th Field Coy.
Age: 26
Date of Death: 29/04/1918
Service No: 44091
Additional information: Son of John Jephcott Hutt and Sarah Ann Hutt, of 42, Maryvale Rd., Stirchley, Birmingham.
Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead
Grave/Memorial Reference: B. 8.

Thank you Annielaurie - so he's not mine... my search continues.

It's odd because John Walton Nutt was the youngest of 4, the eldest is my husband's grandfather and the family remember auntie Elsie and are sure they heard mention of auntie Mary but no one remembers anything about an uncle John?

Thanks to everyone who helped.
Jo

Re; the John W Nutt/Charlotte King marriage found earlier. This looks like a record of a child born to them.

John W Nutt
Mother's Maiden Name King
Date of Registration: Jul Aug Sep 1919
Registered in Islington Greater London

Wow thanks Libby - will send for marriage cert and if my relative will send for the birth cert... many, many thanks Jo
