Empress of France

So it is mid 2009 and I am starting to get heavily involved now – if not obsessed!! I post on various forums and all say basically the same thing. Here is an actual posting:

William Henry Parker - England to Canada abt 1920-25
Posting Date: July 15, 2009
Need help finding my grandparent's family information. This is what I do know but nothing beyond:

William Henry Parker was born in Sheffield, England. He served 4 and half years in France and Belgium during the 1914-1918 war in the British Expedition Forces (B.E.F.) as a Driver. Was in the R.H. (Royal Horseman) and the R.F.A. (Royal Field Artillery) units. He enlisted in Aug 1914 and was discharged in Feb 1919. During his war years, he met Emma Mae Goodman and they married in 1917. After his discharge they immigrated to Canada with one son, Harry who was born in 1919.

Immigrated sometime around 1920-1925.

I know of the family from this point on but nothing of him or her while in England, or what ship they were on or anything like that

*** all of the above facts I found here in Canada through obit, legion app., funeral home document... BUT I have hit a brick wall (no credit card for all these dang pay search sites - they all need paypal!) Anyways, what I really am trying to find is his parent's names and any siblings and anything else interesting about him during the war like what missions, etc. I don't even have a picture of him :o(

HELP, anyone??

I receive a reply back that gave me this information:
