James Archer died at his parents home from dysentry and Pul TB.  Case submitted to IFCP.
We need the burial record at Warrington?

He's not on Warrington's online database, but I believe those records aren't complete. Have you tried the cemetery office at Warrington?

I may try when I'm back from travelling in 2 weeks. Thanks for the tip.

ps Terry has turned down the evidence and I'm made a direct application to CWGC
