Find Ancestors

Hello, I'm trying to find information on Sydney Medd b 12/12/1884 d 1944 in Newcastle/Durham/North East!!
I know he was a gunner in the Royal Garrison Artillery, then joined the Military Mounted Police and after the war joined the Civillian Mounted Police. I have been led to believe he had a brother too, although I know nothing about him! He married Jenny Fletcher b1892 d1946
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Karen

Thank you!

You're welcome Karen.

Just to let you know incase you don't notice I've updated the marriage entries I found for Sydney to include his children i found. Also his sister Hildas children have been added to the post with her marriage info.

Like I said, I'm blown away, I don't understand how you work such magic!! You don't know how long it took me to gather the information that I had!!!
Will have to phone my only interested relative in the morning and tell her what you've done for me! Thank you soooooooooooo much!
Will leave you a list of all the others I'm struggling with tomorrow!!!!!!! Hee Heee!!
Thank you again.
