Thanks to both of you for replies. That is the heart of the problem... Possibly can only investigate more thoroughly the names found of maybe right age to see where they were in war years. I think the 1916 bith died the same year?
Wondered if someone had other knowledge of movements at the time. Hey ho will just have to select a JRW and try to find more out that one until they are eliminated.
