I am trying to find Army Records for my Great Grandfather Joseph Dawson who served in the 11th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers in WW1. |

I know.....i think they were destroyed in WW2. Worth a try though. |

Thanks Glitter Baby, but that isn't the right Joseph Dawson. Mine married on 8th Aug 1914 (i have marriage certificate) in Morpeth and his address at the time of marriage was Woodhorn Road, Ashington & his wife May (nee Brown) was living at Castle Terrace, Ashington. |

Following on from the above.......i have just spent a frustrating 3hrs searching ancestry for Service Records for Joseph Dawson (No.10841 & 16150) to see if i can ascertain which one is my g.grandfather by his next of kin. |

I have found another possibility for Joseph William Dawson for which there appears to be 2 x Service Records on TNA |

I think what you've found is 1 medal card, for Joseph W Dawson who transferred from one regiment to the other - so the same person. His medal card is on ancestry, I can PM you a copy but it doesn't give any details. |

Thanks very much for the replies (& Medal Card Flip Flop). As i said there are a number of Joseph William Dawson's that it could be, i just can't narrow it down. Will have to try & track down other relatives to see if anyone can shed any light on it. |
