Is it possible to find more

[Finley 1]

Just had a quick run through his records and they stop 4 yrs before he is discharged......  When he is actually transfered to another Regiment as Corporal... No other details shown really.

So I imagine that is when he travelled abroad, and became injured.

Cos the records I have show him as serving at home and no serious injury.


Now that we have found that he is living with a.n.other ex Hussar of the 18th ... then there could be more to find along that line..
Would like to know how he became classified as a cripple and unable to work, as he was working in the 1901 as a porter.  So must have been after this he had his accident..(thanks Nanny Jan for that possibility...........  need to see if there is anything in the papers somewhere.

The problem with the censuses is you just get a snapshot of one day and night every 10 years. 

Albert was probably quite settled living with the Oldburys for at least 20 years.  Most people in those days didn't own their own homes, most working men worked 5 1/2 days a week and men often couldn't cook, so he was probably very comfortable boarding there.  He may not have been out of work for long in 1911, perhaps just a few weeks.  Alternately, his injury may have prevented him working full time but he may have done odd jobs around the house, tended the allotment, kept pigeons etc.  Getting his death cert or looking for an obituary may give you some more clues about his life.

Quite often 'lodgers' on the census are some sort of relation.  One of mine is down as a lodger later in life, but the head of the house has his niece living with him, the niece is my g, g. grandfather's granddaughter (whose mother (his daughter) died in childbirth, then the father died before she was 6) - so technically he wasn't related to the householder (they were his daughter's inlaws) but there was a connection there

I just wonder if there was any connection via marriage ie whether Frederick may have married Albert's sister, but I think I've ruled that out.

Frederick Charles Oldbury
Leicester   Leicestershire
1887  Quarter of registration: Apr-May-Jun

On the same page Mary Brown.

Julia Lavernia married a Francis Wardle...
in 1882  ---
Sarah Green Alberts mom was a widow and living alone in Woodboy Street in the 1891. I dont have a definate date of death for her, too many Sarah Greens ... but have pencilled in  1894.
Alberts father charles died in 1888.

And Robert was living with Emma and family in 1891....

So Woodboy street is where my Grandfather lived as a child... he was born in 1901.  So the family kept to the same area.

So I will see what I can find on Frederick Oldbury before he came to Leicester.

thanks all wonderful help
