we are still looking for henry martin,but we think he may have lived at no 19 rosebank grove walthamstow on the16th june 1918,there are no occupents at this address in the 1911 census,we know this henry had a wife according to army papers,but it doesent mention her name if anyone can add anything to this we would be very grateful many thanks stephen marden

Thanks for the reply Henry was registered in west ham in 1888,he was born 15 collingwood road walthamstow,we think the henry i have mentioned may be him,but we cant find out what happened to him after he was demobbed he didnt go to live with his parents in 15 seaford tottenham,we know he was in the services by refrences made by his brother francis,so if anyone can find out his debob address or where the medals were sent we would love to hear from you many thanks stephen marden

we have what we think may be a positive sighting of henry martin,who was last seen in the 1901 census living at 13 felton st hoxton,according to navel records there is a henry martin service number 221427 listed,there are things mentioned in these records that do add up,the fact he was born at west ham and his occupation was an errand boy,the only thing different is his birth date 30 august 1886,we think he may have lied about his age,we cant find any address mentioned,if anyone can get any further information about henry martin we would love to here from you many thanks stephen marden
