Would anyone be kind enough to look for military records for any one of the following:

James Brooks born Edworth (Beds) 1894
Bertie Brooks born Edworth (Beds) 1883
Herbert Brooks born Edworth (Beds) 1883

Thanks.

Are Herbert/Bertie the same person?

Can you list their parents and any spouses and any middle names please

Hi Ginny

As I seem to have misquoted a couple of dates, I'll re-list below:

James Brooks 1851 Edworth.
Spouse: Esther (Street)
Parents: James and Ann (Beck)
Appears on Edworth Roll of Honour with no info

Bertie Brooks 1883 Edworth
Son of above
Also appears on Edworth Roll of Honour with no info

Herbert Brooks Edworth 1881
Spouse: Ada Alice (Johnson)
Parents: George & Rosina (Stanton)

I'm not sure how to go about tracing military records and don't have the relevant subscription. Thanks for any info you can give, or any advise about tracing for that matter!
