Find Ancestors

Hi there,

Would like to find the mother and father of Evelyn wood of scholes and wentworth no Rotherham. He died in ww1. Know about his service history and now have his will yesterday leaving money to Beatrice treadwell and Mrs H wood of wentworth

Many thanks :-(

You haven't given a death date or any military details.

EDIT: The following is probably the wrong one.

Is this him? (there are actually several with the same name)

UK, Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects
Name: Evelyn Wood
Gender: Male
Death Date: 29 Jun 1916
Death Place: France
Rank: Private
Regiment: East Lancashire Regiment
Regimental Number: 18810

Pay due of £4 6s 12d plus war gratuity of £7 10s went to mother Sarah.

Are there any details for him on the Commonweath War Grave site?

What age was he when he died please and do you know his exact date of death?

Which regiment was he in?

Dea x

Or is it this one? (more likely)

UK, Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects
Name: Evelyn Wood
Gender: Male
Death Date: 9 Aug 1917
Rank: Sapper
Regiment: Royal Engineers
Regimental Number: 478232

Pay due of £4 4s 10d split between legatees Miss Beatrice Treadwell and mother Hannah Wood.

(It's vital you give as much info as possible when asking for help so we get the right records).

ADDED: The CWGC entry doesn't give any family info

I think this is the correct 1911 - the mother's name matches the Register of Effects (Ancestry's links are rubbish!)

Hi there,

Thank you so much, didn't have the details of how much he had. Also I can go from the other records. Didn't realise I had a thread. Have so so many :-D. Sorry I didn't put enough information on, thought it might be okay, only one Evelyn in that area.

There are POW details about William here if you haven't already seen them. You may have to scroll to find him amongst the alphabetical listings.

I have looked for his prison records once before and it was going to cost £120 for the research, not sure how much in detail the records were and if it was worth it. Have printed of the second link, thank you. :-D
