I am looking for information on my grandfather a John William Barnett who died in 1936 so l was told.

My grandmother Florence Barnett nee Webb never spoke about him, only that he went to war one day and never came back.

I would like to trace his family, but not sure when and where he was born. Married 1921 in Oldbury West Midlands.

Any help or advise appreciated.

Regards

Cinders
