Hi,

Welcome to FHUK.

Yes I know this info.. John Merrvn is my grandfather brother... I have his army records too.
I did search all these sites.. no luck I found his family birth registrations but no luck for my grandfather.. thats why I was frustrated. and still searching.. but I thought I will be lucky to find more info through his army career.. in his units...

Thank you so much for all your help
