Question:

Im trying to find out about a relative who died in ww1?

does anyone know any good databases or websites for a picture or obituary?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Since you've asked a question about the TV show "Neighbours" before, I'm going to guess that you're in a country that's part of the British Commonwealth (sorry if I'm wrong). If so, then this site may be of use to you:

"Commonwealth War Graves Commission"
http://www.cwgc.org/

If you're in Australia, there is an ongoing project to scan military files and make them available on the internet. Some are available now, some aren't (but will be), I've been lucky enough to find several relatives files. They are available at the National Archives, completely free of charge:

http://www.naa.gov.au/the_collection/rec...

Just enter your relatives name in the first box (Keywords), and see what turns up. Use "quotes" around the name if both names are common, then it will look for that particular phrase, rather than fifty million of individual uses of each name.

Good luck.

EDIT:

Whoops, I just read in your "Neighbours" question that you're in England, so please ignore the second link, the first should be relevant though. I'll leave the second link up anyway, in case any Australians read this an are interested in the site.

I don't think you'll be able to get access to British records for free. I came across this article on WW1 records at the British National Archives:
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/...

So it looks like this site is your best bet:

It is pay per view, though, or you could get an annual membership.
