hi here, Thomas Reynolds is ivys father? I have been researching Reynolds for years now. I was a Reynolds.

[clematised]

Good to see my message got to you kartix, I hope the new poster comes back to chat.

[Dizybee]

Hello, yes Thomas Reynolds was the name of her Father, I have a lot of information about him most of it posted in a family tree on Ancestry.com
Quite a few Thomas Reynolds from the same time. Ours died in 1918 in a POW camp. I found his grave in France just a few years ago now and would dearly like to visit one day.
It's been a difficult journey trying to find information about him, honouring a promise to my late Mum to find his resting place.

Have you got a photograph Dizybee of the war memorial where he is buried? If not, you might like to look on our International war memorials to see if it's there - http://familytreeforum.com/wiki/index.php/War_Memorials

[Dizybee]

Yes thank you Chris. Commonwealth War Graves Commission have given me all the details and photos etc.
