Albert Ernest Booth

[Joylanc]

Hi,
I am looking for any information on Albert Ernest Booth born 1887. I believe he married my grandmother Florence Plimmer in Sept 1914 at Birmingham Register Office. Their address at the time was 3 back 33 Heneage Street Duddeston Birmingham. His father was William Henry. I think he was killed in WW1 but can't find any forces records for him. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

With a service number noted above someone with access might be able to see if anything else can be found to help confirm or eliminate the above.

I think he was killed in WW1 but can't find any forces records for him.

Unfortunately, more than half of their service records were destroyed in September 1940, when a German bombing raid struck the War Office repository in Arnside Street, London.

So many with the same name in WW1

Findmypast should have his military records,if they survived. Also he may have been given a death certificate.

Looking at Albert Ernest Booth I couldn't find his birth in 1887 but I ended up finding him on your tree on Ancestry.

You seem to have Florence M Plimmer marrying a Lacey in 1918, are you sure this is the same as the Florence N Plimmer who married Albert Ernest Booth in 1914? Was the father of Florence given as the same on the two marriage certs?

If Florence was a widow when she married in 1918 I am surprised she was not married as Florence Booth. Also on your tree the son born in 1915 is Plimmer, not Booth, why was that if she was married to Albert Booth?

I am asking all this because if Florence N and Florence M are different people then maybe Albert Ernest Booth, husband of Florence N, did not die in the war.
