Hi there again, I have just found out the records office has moved to Army Peronnel Centre(APC) Glasgow from 1997, and there you will have to prove kinship.
Cheers Roger.

 Some more info for you from the 1901 census, Dan Frith, Driver, aged 22, from Lutterworth, Leicestershire, in the 26th Battery RFA, in the Stanhope and Wellington lines, Aldershot.
This is weird! There are TWO Daniel FRITHs recorded in 1901 - one aged 22 and the other 27 - both Drivers with Royal Fd Arty at Aldershot! Both are shown married: the younger in Barracks and born 'Lutworth' and the elder born Birmingham with a wife Alice boarding in Aldershot!
The 1911 Index only has the elder - Daniel Thomas FRITH - aged 37 born Lutterworth living in Camberwell District with a wife Mary Alice!
FreeBMD has a marriage 1Q 1901 between Daniel Thomas FRITH and Mary Alice ISHERWOOD Farnham 2a 162.

Nothing as drastic as that.
Just a case of being recorded twice in the census. His family was living in Birmingham, so I think his wife may have thought he was born there. He was born in Lutterworth in1882. His mother Georgina was the next of kin when he joined the army. and we know his wife was Mary Alice.
I am now waiting for the postman to bring me a copy of his army records. hopefully there may be something helpful in that. Still trying to find newspaper articles.

I don't know if she was aware of his correct age. When they married 3 weeks earlier he said he was 27! She was 24, but it seems like a huge age difference to invent.
They stayed together,and had 4 children.
She was actually from Yorkshire so maybe it was a case of it being too far to go home.

What is your definition of Tyke?
My family always thought we were real "cockneys" until I discovered that all my maternal side comes from "North of Watford'! In fact most came from between Leeds and the lake district. So i';m not sure now what we are!

Hi there Muttly,
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr not sure myself, but I am one. Now back to the question in hand have you tried Hampshire County Archives to see if they are holding any army records.
Cheers Roger, the yorkshire terrier.
