Looking for information

Postby Floud » Wed Feb 12, 2014 2:07 pm

Hi
I am trying to search for any records of my grandmothers brothers or my great grandfathers brothers who I believe served with the Worcesters during WW1.
The names were either Steventon on my nan's side or Coley-Smith on my great grandfathers side.
All of the family were born and bred in Halesowen.

Steve,
I note that you have found 4 Steventon's on the "absent voters list"? I only see 1? I'm interested in Thomas 8076. Is he one listed please?
