Heres another one of those interesting snippets of information from the Commonwealth war Graves Commission website that just seem amazing to me !!

Remembered with honour LEWISHAM (LADYWELL) CEMETERY Annie
Hello Annie, What sort of info are you looking for on here? Purely military or anything? I can find him on the family history route (I think!), but not outside of that at the mo!! Emma
Right then...you did say anything...!! It's not a common name and he's of the right age... 1901 32 Foxberry Road, Deptford St Paul Alfred Figer, Head, 63, Publishers Assistant, London Elizabeth Figer, Wife, 52, Dereham Norfolk Leonard Figer, Son, 15, Telegraph Messenger, Greenwich Kent RG13/534 F 20 P 31 All Census information is Crown Copyright, from www.nationalarchives.gov.uk

That's cool ! ..... I had found this medal card at the Archives ... I wonder if it's his ? I don't have A* right now so I haven't checked it ! Medal card of Figes, Alfred H 20th London Regiment 2813 Serjeant 20th London Regiment 630956 Serjeant Date 1914-1920 http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/...asp?Edoc_Id=2377872&queryType=1&resultcount=4 Annie
There are service records of Alfred William Figes who I believe could be his son who does feature on the other census records. (the age fits) Will take another look today...once I have woken up!!
You need to stop asking me....every one I look at doesn't seem to turn up much!! There is one record on A which is for Alfred William Figes born 1874. I can't really see much but I can send the pages to you if you want?
It would appear that Alfred H Figes could be: Figes, Alfred Herbert Birth Q September 1896 Lewisham Greater London, Kent, London Vol 1d Pg 1188 All Census information is Crown Copyright, from www.nationalarchives.gov.uk Son of Alfred William Figes, Grandson of Alfred Figes....keeping it simple again eh?!
