Why Audley Family History?

 

We ensure that all our data is checked and correct, this is a hobby to the owners of the site and therefore taking our time and getting it right is what we are known for.

World War 1 Summary Page

The aim of the World War 1 pages in this website is to:

Create a ‘Roll of Honour’ of  all the people with the Audley & Aidley surnames who were combatants in World War 1
and
Provide a Tag Number to link the individual combatant with their the family history detailed on the ‘Family Tree’ pages of this website.

Included in this ‘Roll of Honour are a  number of  individuals who did not use the Audley surname but have the name Audley as one of their  forenames

It has not been possible to identify all the Audley WW1 combatants as a number of WW1 Service Records were destroyed during WW2.  If you have any additional information about these people and are willing to share that information with us please contact us through the website contact page.
