Hi Angie, Sorry but there is no WW1 service record on ancestry for your Herbert Atkinson. Best of luck, John

Hello Dave, an update - have now the birth cert for Joseph Wroe Atkinson and it turns our that his mother was Harriet Atkinson of Sackville Street, Barnsley, no father mentioned. This answers one question. Thanks.

Angie, thank you for the feedback. Much appreciated
Dave
