As Christina has indicated you have a very tough search ahead. To help, can you give more detailed information about your G'g'dad.
Any of the following may help eliminate/confirm a record for him.
Exact date of Birth, details of where he was living 1911 Census, more precise info about his whereabouts when he enlisted/was discharged, his parents names. Anything you have about him during that period.

Regards,
Malcolm

Ah! I see Christina has already found the 1911 data.
Hi All, thank you for your help!

The 1911 census that Christina sent is correct.

His DOB is 24th March 1895. His mother's name is Maria Green nee Cross & his father is Victor Charles Green.

After he was discharged he married Sarah Ann Batt in 1917, they married on 25th December 1917 in Downend, Bristol (which is not far from Mangotsfield). another thing to note is that he married as "Harry" although on his birth certificate his name is "Henry" - very confusing!!

All of Henry/ Harry's children were born in Mangotsfield and he also died here, so i'm guessing when he was discharged from the War this is where he stayed.

Thanks,
Kirsty
