    Default WWI Service record lookup on Ancestry please?

    Can someone with a paid subscription for Ancestry have a peek to see if there is a service record available for Private William Carr Regimental Number (7/1610 possibly 1610 on its own) 1/7th Battallion Northumberland Fusiliers. Killed in action 16th June 1915 aged 20.



    Thank you very much.

    Thank you Annie, I already have that information. His War record "if" it exists at all, is what eludes me.



    Thanks again,

    Hi Tejay65,



    Many thanks for the information, but!.............I've got that too.



    I have Williams' birth certficate, his death certificate, a photograph of his name on the Menin Gate in Ypres, his medal card and even a photograph of him.



    I am in the process of trying to obtain copies of the 1/7th battallion's war diaries for June 1915 from the National Archives. It's on there I saw that the service records are on Ancestry. I dont really want to subscribe to this site unless necessary. I'm hoping someone on Ancestryaid does so they can check for me?



    Many thanks again.

    I have checked on Ancestry - subscription, and regretably he is not there. One of many records destroyed by fire - I guess.

    Hi again Silverfox, have you tried asking your enquiry on the "Great War Forum" ( check it out on Google or other search engines).There are people there with extensive knowledge on WW1 affairs.

    REgards, Tom

    Many thanks Brian for checking for me. A bit of a blow, but not entirely unexpected.



    Thanks again,
