My Great-Grandfather, Charles Hector Ling, served in the Great War and lived to tell the tale though suffered shell-shock for the rest of his life, according to my father father who got the tale from 'Little Grand-dad', Charles's son. However, there is no trace of any Charles Ling in the Military Records of Genes Reunited. Is there another way of figuring out where he served or what rank he became and so on? |

I know he married in 1912, Bethnal Green, his occupation in 1911 was 'clerk' but that may well have changed...the dates and lace fit. |

Then it's not him. His wife was called Annie Elizabeth Crook. |

GlitterBaby - That's exactly what I have, he married a year later. I suspect thats how he met Annie, boarding at her fathers house. |

Because it's quarter past one in the morning. A typo, sorry for the confusion. The image is a copy of the census, identical to what GB put but without the last three names. It has Arthur, Mary, Florence, Annie and Charles. |

You are lucky if you find any records as 70% of WW1 records were lost during WW2 |
