Moose46 Posted February 10 Author #3 Posted February 10 Would the forms show information like age, birth place, parents names. The ones I am looking at are from the mid 1800s. I found them for download but at a cost $ . I want to use them to verify my great-grandfather.
Richie B Posted February 11 #4 Posted February 11 Yes British ones do - address, physical details etc. Was he a British Soldier? If you want to post details or PM me I will have a look.
