Records of men from other Streets on the periphery of St Anns
This page records service personnel who lived on the periphery of St Anns. In most cases they have been recorded on the Nottingham City Council (NCC) St Anns Virtual Memorial site but do not meet this site's street list criteria.
There will inevitably be discrepancies/differences between this site's records and NCC. For example this site claims men who were born or lived in St Anns prior to WW1 and in some cases after, whereas NCC criteria do not necessarily accept this.
