No other details on this record - except it was the Victory Medal, so presumably he survived the war:

I assume the first birth here will be the one who died in 1918? If you were to get the birth certs to see who their parents were, that would help with census searching?

Births Mar 1890 (>99%)

Am I correct in thinking that all you want to know is whether or not William with parents George & Ada is the same person as the one with no. 241543?


Try:
http://www.northumberlandfusiliers.org.uk/faqs.php


There's a tree on Ancestry which says George & Ada's son died in 1976 - but with no supporting evidence.
