Hi All would it be possible for someone to do a lookup for me
Looking for Samuel Ryde b:1887 Bolton, Lancashire
Samuel son of Edward Ryde and Elizabeth James
I have a possible marriage for Samuel but not confirmed Spouse Martha Alice
Possible Regiment: Kings Own (Royal Lancaster Regiment) 4th Foot
Service No. 4966
Need to confirm if he is the son of Edward Ryde (if next of kin is shown) also confirmation that I have the right Regiment

I am aware that many WW1 records where lost during WW2 if they exist would be interested to see what information is contained in the records

Many thanks :-)
