i cant find WW1 service records on ancestry for someone, is this because he was killed in action in 1918 so the records would be somewhere else or should i keep looking |

Service records on Ancestry have only been added for surnames A-N so far. |

I haven't been able to find anything for my g-grandad for WW1. Someone with the same name was on ancestry but now I have looked at service records it is not him. Very disappointing! |

You could try the site for his regiment. I got service records from the Grenadier Guards which were not on ancestry. However I would point out that it cost me £30. Just depends how much you want to see his records. |
