Thank you everyone for your help. I am amassed at the speed and efficient way you have all helped. With regard to his Army years I had a cousin now no longer able to help who gave me some info and then I searched the web and found an army site with all the info. This was then verifed by Army personnel who vist the graves of the fallen every 11.11.

Edit for Dea.

It was a typo by Bridget of AS HE I think and now has the gap between the 2 words.

Where did the surname 'Ashe' disappear to ??????????

If that is the marriage Mary could not have been born in 1918

Opps, I never knew about the add button..sorry

Thanks for the swift reply. Unfortunately I have not been able to find a marriage fopr them but I do know that they were married. Mary ford is my mothers sister but unfortunatley that generation are all decesed and many of my cousins are as well as my mother was the youngest of 10 children and there were 9years between her and the 9th child.I will try ot find a marriage again but simply getting a bit frustrated at the moment
