I have an obituary published in the Liverpool Echo 14th November 1918 for:-
WESLEY, November 7 in France Gordon A Wesley, Corporal Mounted Police, late Lancashire Hussars, 19, Croxteth Grove, Liverpool.
I have his entry on the Medal Rolls which states:-
Wesley G
Royal Dragoons 5604
P 5408 MMP
Also on the medal Rolls are the dates 10/9/1914 Enlisted and also 11/11/1918
Here is the link to his Medal Card
http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/1262/ ... turnRecord
I cannot find any entry on CWGC nor on a census. Any assistance with this one.

Re: Gordon A Wesley
Don't know if this is any help but between 1870 and 1900 there's only one birth registered in England and Wales....
Births Mar 1886: WESLEY, Gordon Howard - Birmingham 6d 126
He is here in 1891: RG12 Piece 2395 Folio 22 Page 38
Was the H of Howard mistaken for an A in the records?
No matches for births in Scotland.
No entries in Ireland censuses, 1901 and 1911 or in Scotland.
In 1910+1 he is here with his parents...
Address: 109 Albert Road, Handsworth, Staffordshire
Gordon Wesley Son u/m 26 1885 - Birmingham - Jeweller

Re: Gordon A Wesley
Sorry not much luck, but also had no luck finding a birth in Lancashire, I wonder if this could possibly be him? despite the middle initial being incorrect.
Births Mar 1886
WESLEY Gordon Howard Birmingham 6d 126
Snap, great minds and all that!

Haven't found a marriage anywhere yet for Michael Fitzer Bovenizer and a Mary, so as he was a Methodist minister he may have married abroad while missioning in foreign climes such as Ceylon etc.

Re: Gordon A Wesley
You Guys!!!
I popped into the Archives on the ways to dads and looked up who was recorded at 19, Croxteth Grove and it was:
Rev. Fitzell Bovenizer (Cong)
I can now take him out of Misc database and put him in my Roll of Honour
