First World War Genealogy

Tracing your ancestors who served in the First World War
Brought to you by Lawrence Woodcock


There was hardly a family in England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales who did not have at least one member of their family who served in the First World War. Indeed there was practically no family who did not have a relative who lost their life in the conflict! Three quarters of a million died from the British Isles alone.

I can research your ancestors wartime service, whether they were in the British Army, Royal Navy, Royal Naval Reserve, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, Royal Navy Air Service, Royal Naval Division, Royal Marines, Royal Flying Corps, Royal Air Force and Merchant Navy. I have access to literally millions of documents relating to individuals who served in the Great War. Searches range from Service records and Campaign medals to the battles they fought and Gallantry medals awarded.

I have 25 years research experience involving the Great war. Starting at the age of 16, when I corresponded with and met many veterans of the conflict. This led me to start collecting British medals from the war which led to me researching the men behind the medals. Over the last five years many new documents and records have been released and for many a good picture of a mans service can be built up.

The pages on this site show the availability of records for Officers, Men and Women of all the services. I charge on a basis of £15.00 per hour. Where possible I give a set price. For other searches please ask for a quote as the variety of records vary so much from case to case. Also it depends on how in depth you require a search to go.

Regards.
