An interesting and extensive family grouping. Obtained directly from the descendants, but with limited information so I've had to piece the family tree together the best I could. Comprises;
1. A World War Two medal grouping of the 1939/45 Star, the Africa Star, the Italy Star, the 1939/45 War Medal. Together with a Territorial Efficiency Medal. WW2 medals are unnamed as issued, the TEM is named as follows; 1431436 GNR. G. E. BILLINGSLEY. R.A. Original ribbons to all (Wrong way round on 39 and Africa Star).
Complete with Soldier's Release Book (to George Edward Billingsley) and Certificate of Service confirming medal entitlement and his role as a driver mechanic.
There is also a post-1952 ration book holder named to Mrs B. Billingsley believed to be Betty (nee Jones), George's wife.
2. A World War One medal pair, named to 305249 PNR. J. JONES. R.E. Original ribbons to both. Joseph Jones was entitled to a pair. Joseph is believed to be Betty Billingsley's (nee Jones) father.
3. A World War One medal pair, named to 240100 CPL. A. BILLINGSLEY. S. STAFF. R. This is believed to be George's father. Original ribbons to both. He was entitled to a pair and later served with the R.A.F. under s/n 401616.
4. A 1914 Mons Star, has been 'gold-dipped' which is beginning to wear on the reverse. Original ribbon and named to 10028 PTE J. BURROWS. 3/WORC:R.
The family connection is a little more difficult to determine here but the medal belongs to James Burrows, who arrived in theatre on 26 August 1914. Soldiers Died reports he was killed in action on the 19th September 1914, while serving with the 3rd Battalion. Strangley his date of death is reported as 3 October 1914 in De Ruvigny's and 16 September 1914 on CWGC. He has no known grave so with no body recovered there is presumably some doubt of the exact circumstances of his death. He is remembered on the La Ferte-Sous-Jouarre Memorial.
Buried within his Record of Soldier's Effects, is that his will left his effects to his half sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Finch, another half sister Sarah Offley and his full sister, Mrs Emily Jones, so that is the possible connection to the Jones medals, with Emily thought to have been Betty's sister.
From what I can determine, the Burrows family lived in Granville Street, Wolverhampton, very close to George's Johnson Street, Wolverhampton address.
In a nut shell, the medals came via Betty's family, so we have her husband's (G.E. Billingsley), her father's (Jones), her father-in-laws (A.Billingsley) and her Uncle's (Burrows).
