I know who they are, from what is now regarded as historical records, whether they are old newspapers old church and school records amongst the hundred of different types of records available

I also know from what I've checked of their list,
that they dont know what their doing.
I've just checked one on that list as EDDLESTON R.
They have'nt checked properly as he was EDDLESTON John Robert who died in 1918 of T.B.. On the 1922 Roll of he is shown as EDDLESTON R. So what do they do, pick EDDLESTONE Richard, born in Gt Harwood, lived in Burnley died in Egypt.
Does that answer your questions

Without checks someone might make a name up like Mike Hunt of Virginia Street was killed in action.
