I have found my Great Grandfather's papers - all 17 pages of them Some are blank though. He was in the Territorials, something I only found out recently from one of his sons' marriage record on the LMA records.

His surname is very uncommon, Tivers, and although he had 3 sons and at least 4 nephews of eligible age, I can only find one other listed under that name who was his cousin. I know my Grandad (born 1900) lied about his age to join up at 17 and I have a photo of him in uniform, but no records for him nor for either of his older brothers. The trouble is, the name is so often mistranscribed (I have at least 8 different listings from various records) that it is almost impossible to find the rest of the family. Even the only other one I found is mistranscribed as Twers!
