I have a great grandfather with the same name. He fought in WWI, his middle name was ‘atto’ I think. Where was yours born?
My William Marsh was born in Hove c1862. I don’t think he had a middle name, he was the son of Robert & Ellen Marsh (Nee James)
Thomas Nailard in this photo is my second great grandfather.
