Default Re: WWI - Assumption that Ancestor Took Part..

Hello Slizzy,
Oh I've got ahead leaps n bounds this afternoon!! Since discovered that again, I'm 99.99% certain I've got the RIGHT one, I've found that (and I do know the area very well) a few miles from the boys home that Francis John was in there was another home, (now part of West Middlesex Hospital) called Percy House in Isleworth. They have an inmate named Charles William Hancock, correct age. What's gutting though, is that their parents were STILL ALIVE and on the 1901 census they were living in Cambridge (their Father originally came from Cambs)with their YOUNGEST Child. Why would they dump their eldest and 3rd child in homes? Hard to understand...
