    There is a birth on the BMD for a Charles Reuben Whitby, in September quarter of 1885 in Biggleswade district Bedfordshire, who I would think is out Reuben as his fathers name was Charles. It appears after this he was know as Reuben.

    First Name: Reuben 
    Initials: R 
    Surname: WHITBY 
    DOB: Circa 1884 
    Age: 30 
    Birth Town: Biggleswade, Bedfordshire 
    Resided Town: Bedford 
    Nationality: British 
    Date of Death: 26/10/1914 
    Fate: Killed In Action 
    Information: HUSBAND OF ANNIE WHITBY, OF HIGH ST., WARBOYS, HUNTS. 
    Rank: Private 
    Service Number: 9952 
    Duty Location: France And Flanders 
    Campaign Medals: 
    1914 Star
    The 1914 Star was instituted in 1917 for service ashore in France and Flanders between 5 August and 22 November 1914. In 1919 a clasp bearing the above dates was authorised and given to those individuals who had actually been under fire between the prescribed dates, popularly known as the 'Mons star' there were 378,000 awarded in total. 
    The 1914/15 Star was instituted in 1918 and awarded to those individuals who saw service in France and Flanders from 23 November 1914 to 31 December 1915, and to those individuals who saw service in any other operational theatre from 5 August 1914 to 31 December 1915. 
    A person who served during the period of 05/08/1914 and 31/12/1915 would have been awarded one or the other of the 'stars' (ie either the 1914 star which has '1914' on the scroll OR the 1914-15 star which has '1914-15' on the scroll, NOT both. 2,366,000 awarded in total. 
    Victory Medal
    Given the information we have available it is likely that Reuben WHITBY was entitled to the Victory medal, also called the Inter Allied Victory Medal. This medal was awarded to all who received the 1914 Star or 1914-15 Star and, with certain exceptions, to those who received the British War Medal. It was never awarded alone. These three medals were sometimes irreverently referred to as Pip, Squeak and Wilfred.
    Eligibility for this award consisted of having been mobilised, fighting, having served in any of the theatres of operations, or at sea, between midnight 4th/5th August, 1914, and midnight, 11th/12th November, 1918. Women who served in any of the various military organisations in a theatre of operations were also eligible. 
    British War Medal
    From the information available to us, it is very possible that Reuben WHITBY was entitled to the British War Medal for service in World War One. This British Empire campaign medal was issued for services between 5th August 1914 and 11th November 1918.
    The medal was automatically awarded in the event of death on active service before the completion of this period.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
