    Hi Milford Lass,


    I already have a copy of his WW1 Service Record, it doesn't show anything that he did prior to WW1, That is the period I am trying to piece together x

    Hello Liam. Does it state on his WW1 Service record. Who Parents were.

    I have found a Albert Blows on the 1891 Census. Parents Arthur. and Annie Blows.
    If you have that information I will look further on records for you. But difficult without some information
