I am trying to locate any military records for my friends grandfather, and I am not sure if they just are not there or I can't find them
he is Frederick James Moore b1896 born in Wootton and parents are Frederick and Charlotte Moore he died in 1972
I have found him in census 1901 and 1911 and 1939 (I suppose the 1901 and 1911 could be wrong) but 1939 is def right.

But this is def not him as he was very much alive enough for my friend to have seen him! Is it possible that this transcript is wrong? I am not sure where/what the original document is, does seem to be death records. so i can only assume that there was more than one in Wootton.
I will have to ask her if she knows Wootton to be correct or maybe the relative that told her has researched incorrectly.
