You have his birth as 1893 in your GR tree.....................but, as he was 23 when he died, his birth was obviously earlier

Hi Darren

You could search trees on here, go to SEARCH at the top of the screen

You might want to remove your email address as this is an open and non secure
site

first of all Darren - you must remove your email address - not allowed by GR :-)

Secondly, remote in the extreme that anyone on these boards with knowledge of Edwin will see this posting - you have to look for connections - to do that, click on "Search" top right hand corner to discover whether he features in any other trees on this site - if you strike lucky you can then contact the owner of the tree through this site

Would anyone have a photo of Edwin Morris. Lance corporal in the 9th battalion Worcestershire regiment, born in Chaddesley Corbett , Worcs. He was killed in action aged 23 , 10/8/1915. I would like to add this to my family tree, he was my great grandfathers cousin.
