 Hi Mack
 Thank you for the lists, one has stood out 1465 john gorman,7-3-10 4th batt.
 He enlisted the same day as my Grandad and only a few numbers difference
 between them.
 All four of them enlisted about the same time so he may of known them all.
 Thanks again for your help it much appreciated.
 Neil

 Hi Mack
 No he wasn't from Nottingham, they both joined the
 Manchester's at Liverpool at the same time.
 Not sure why Liverpool and not Ashton.
 I got a bit thrown with John Gorman, as
 he is down as John Dury in two Pension records
 and two numbers? 1465  9 pages and 1883 17 pages.
 
 I think the file that has both papers for both John Gorman's
 are mixed up as the John with the number 1883 joined on the 21st July
 1910.
