Is anyone able and willing to look up Electoral Registers, Including Service Absent Voters Registers 1914 -1920 for Cockshutt and Petton please?
I am researching names on Cockshutt Roll of Honour. There are 5 LLOYDs.
GEORGE WALTER, FRED, OLIVER, THOMAS, and TOM. No ranks or units recorded.
I cannot find a LLOYD family in the area on any census, so presume must have moved there after 1911.
Any info, Rank, Regimental Number, Unit, address or even names and addresses of other LLOYD Civilian Voters would be most helpful.
Some or all may have been under the voting age to register.
I live Loppington but at present cannot get to Archives to do the research in person.
Very many thanks,
David Edge
Hello David
This reference is rather earlier than you asked for but it might just give you a lead.
In 'Recollections of Cockshutt' by John Moore, presumably written between 1921 when he retired as headmaster at the local school and 1946 when he died, there is a paragraph which reads, "The oldest mural tablet is in memory of Francis Lloyd who lived at Crosemere Hall. His descendants later owned the country mansion of Leaton Knolls near Shrewsbury."
This tablet seems to have disappeared when the Cockshutt MIs were recorded in 1983.
