The two men you mention were actually the same man** and he was killed in WW1:


Name:George Lascelles
Birth Place:Byers Green
Residence:Byers Green
Death Date:6 Oct 1918
Death Place:France and Flanders
Enlistment Place:Spennymoor
Rank:Private
Regiment:Durham Light Infantry
Battalion:15th Battalion
Regimental Number:47097 **
Type of Casualty:Killed in action
Theatre of War:Western European Theatre
Comments:Formerly 78918**, Northumberland Fus.

Did your grandfather survive the war? As you may know only about 30% off WW1 Service/Pension records have survived. There are other George Lascelles who did survive but whose records haven't.
