1861 Census - Street, Warboys, Huntingdonshire
1871 Census - Popes Lane, Warboys, Huntingdonshire. There is an Emily GRANGE aged 10 with her grandparents John and Hannah DRING on this Census which is all correct. However she is down as being born in Whittlesey but as the later children in the family were born in Whittlesey her grandparents might have thought that she was as well, but she was born in Warboys.

I received the following on 8th August 2007 from a Mary GOLDSMITH, which explains my doubts about John A GRANGE on the 1891 Census. On the 1891 he definitely down as son to Edward and Maria: The message received is as follows -John A Grange was the illegitimate son of Emily Grange registered as John Arthur Lilley Grange. he died in the 1st world war and his grave is in Adanac Cemetary France. I have visited the grave as he was one of my elusive relations.

1891 Census - Vicarage Road, Watford, Hertfordshire
In 1881 John's mother was living at Roxboro Park, Harrow, Middlesex and was Cook to John LILLEY (53) widower Land, Investments born London, his three daughters and three sons. There was a visitor and another servant. Emily's child was named Arthur Lilley GRANGE, so it is possible that one of the LILLEY sons was the father, the oldest son being J Arthur LILLEY age 23, two years older than Emily. The other sons were 16 and 10.

Date of Death: 29/11/1916
Fate: Killed in Action
Rank: Private

Campaign Medals: Victory Medal
Given the information we have available it is likely that John A. GRANGE 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 John A. GRANGE 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.
Service: British Army
Regiment: gordon highlanders
Gordon Highlanders during World War 1
Since 1815 the balance of power in Europe had been maintained by a series of treaties. In 1888 Wilhelm II was crowned ‘German Emperor and King of Prussia’ and moved from a policy of maintaining the status quo to a more aggressive position. He did not renew a treaty with Russia, aligned Germany with the declining Austro-Hungarian Empire and started to build a Navy rivalling that of Britain. These actions greatly concerned Germany’s neighbours, who quickly forged new treaties and alliances in the event of war. On 28th June 1914 Franz Ferdinand the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne was assassinated by the Bosnian-Serb nationalist group Young Bosnia who wanted pan-Serbian independence. Franz Joseph's the Austro-Hungarian Emperor (with the backing of Germany) responded aggressively, presenting Serbia with an intentionally unacceptable ultimatum, to provoke Serbia into war. Serbia agreed to 8 of the 10 terms and on the 28th July 1914 the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia, producing a cascade effect across Europe. Russia bound by treaty to Serbia declared war with Austro-Hungary, Germany declared war with Russia and France declared war with Germany. Germany’s army crossed into neutral Belgium in order to reach Paris, forcing Britain to declare war with Germany (due to the Treaty of London (1839) whereby Britain agreed to defend Belgium in the event of invasion). By the 4th August 1914 Britain and much of Europe were pulled into a war which would last 1,566 days, cost 8,528,831 lives and 28,938,073 casualties or missing on both sides.
The Regiment raised a total of 21 battalions and was awarded 57 battle honours, 4 Victoria Crosses and lost 8,870 men during the course of the war.
