220958 Pte James Thomas Weed British Army 9th Btn. East Surrey Regiment from:19 Ladds Court, Southwark (d.18th Jun 1917) James Weed was my Great grandfather, south london born, he was aged 41 at time of death. Editor's Note:- Private 8135 James Thomas Weed is interred in the Lussenthoek Military Cemetery. The CWGC also have his age as 41. However, his military record is still intact, and shows him as enlisting on 6th February 1915, giving his age as 28years and 11 months. He had a wife, Ellen (nee Ferrey), who he married on 1st March 1905, and had a son and 3 daughters. This age would appear to be backed up by the 1911 census which shows him as aged 25. He has given a lower age on enlistment as he would have been above the upper age limit for service at the time.
