Iv just had another look at that threat ShaunJ, I forgot about it. Where did you see the info about William Hope being a driver? 
Think I looked at prices for the service records from Scotland and it seemed extortionate as I don't know what I'm doing for ordering those, iv not bought any before

Hi all,

I have had a stumbling block for years but have came across an entry on Fold3 of a William Trainer, 96 Foot
On trial in Berhampore (India?) 8th Sept 1869.

Is there anyway I can find out more about this William? Service records, joining?  Anything else?

If this is my William, i found a grave saying he died India 28 Oct 1875.

Desperately hoping this will be the right ancestor but how can I confirm?

Any help is much appreciated ty

Hi Rovert

It seems we have a common interest. Frances Louisa 'Knight' Allen is my great grandmother on my dad's side. I also have a Knight interest!

Just reading the comments, did you find a birth cert for Amos?

The information I had found was (hopefully this link works, 1861 censes) https://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=1080&h=544639&ssrc=pt&tid=154960547&pid=152167055170&usePUB=true

Your SP looks transcribed more accurate than the 1 i found on ancestry.

Yes it makes more sense getting the marriage cert of Elizabeth, and I did wonder about her father mentioned as John Nelson, when there were 2 children with Trainer surnames, so yes probably Isabellas 1st husband as a possible Trainer.

Also interesting is Isabella being born County Monahan, as iv been told alot of Trainers came from

Thanks for having a look.
I think maybe James Trainers death cert might be one to check, as the 1871 census has James being the brother of Elizabeth (head) then Isabella is listed as mother of head.
1861 census has Household Members

Name.. Elizabeth Age 24 (head)
Name..Isabella Nelson Age 50 (mother)
Name.. John Nelson Age 60 (father)
Name.. John Age 3
Name.. Benjamin Age 1
Name.. Alexander Bell Age 7 Mo
Name.. Margaret Frann Age 20 (sister)

I did see the marriage for Elizabeth, iv never used Scotland people before but will have a look at it. Thanks

My train of thought was maybe if I could follow these people back another generation or 2, it might make sense, as in maybe family members interlinking

The JNT who died 3yrs old had a brother William, who's son was another James Nelson Trainer(my 3rd GG).
The JNT 3yrs parents are John and Martha.
I know it will be further back than these people IF any connection.
I was just taken aback by seeing both the Nilson (nelson) and Trainer in the same place.

I don't know how they might connect(  if they do) to Isabella.

I'm probably clutching at straws and should just delete this post

Evening all.. Im not sure if this is the best place to put this. I keep going back to the same thought of my fathers middle name Nelson which has came down the line, possibly being a grandmothers maiden name at some point.
The earliest ancestor iv found up to now is a James Nelson Trainer born 1779 died 1782, Berwick-upon-Tweed  (5th G Uncle).
I decided to just search Nelson and Trainer and came across a Scottish 1871 census with Isabella Nilson (mother born 1809ish Ireland) and John Trainer (son, born 1837ish Ireland ) Elizabeth Wylie (head and daughter to Isabella).
My dad always said there was Irish in the family. And this is the 1st time iv came across these 2 names at the same place. I'd appreciate any help in trying to find any connection and hopefully link Nelson and Trainers together 🤞.
Many thanks and sorry for the long post x

Yes that's the birth entry I had came across aswel, I know who that Elizabeth  Is, but iv never seen the other names connected with the family before now.

Think I will need to go through the earlier census tomorrow.

Thank you everyone for having a look and adding suggestions
