Am trying to find out more on this soldier.
War graves record shows:
http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=871482
Gloucester regiment museum website says he was born in Welshpool and enlisted in Lydney. I have found his birth entry on FreeBMD (Jan 1893), have also found him on the 1901 census, living in Lancashire.
Am now trying to find his connection to Lydney, I assume he was living there or somewhere in the Forest when he enlisted.
My starting point was the 1911 census but I can't seem to find him anywhere on there.
Any help much appreciated.
Tim.

Thanks, so in 1901 was with his Aunt (in Lancashire I believe).
Just can't find him in 1911, which I was hoping would trace his prescense in the Forest.
