Aberdeenshire / 2 weddings in 2 days...same couple?
« on: Tuesday 17 October 17 14:03 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I really need some help on this please. I have Elizabeth Davidson & James Davidson marrying on 20/9/1790 in Aboyne, Aberdeenshire and Elizabeth Davidson & James Davidson marrying on 21/9/1790 in Birse, Aberdeenshire. I'm assuming it's unlikely that the same couple had 2 weddings?
The James & Elizabeth I am looking for had a daughter, Elizabeth, in around 1801 who married James Ritchie in Birse 1825. If anyone can shed any light it would be much appreciated.
TIA

You are absolutely brilliant! I can't thank you enough. I started this research as a 90th birthday project for my great aunt. She will be thrilled (as will the rest of my family) at all the info I can forward from you. Large virtual bunch of flowers and my heartfelt thanks.

Wow..Thank you both so much. really informative and interesting. I have been able to find his medal index card. he was awarded the 1915 Star, the military medal and the victory medal. Was the military medal for bravery or did all soldiers receive it? now off to find out more about Gallipoli...
once again many, many thanks :-D

Hi Max,
I have posted more of the document, but not in it's entirety.. Private Patrick Kerr 41597 was in the HLI then labour corps, no mention of the Welsh Guards.. Could he have received a new posting/transfer by telegram perhaps?
hope you can glean a few clues for me, many thanks

World War One / W6 Telegram?
« on: Tuesday 15 August 17 18:26 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I was hoping someone could tell me if they know what a W6 Telegram is?
On my gt grandfathers military papers the following is noted "W6 telegram B(?) 1125/ a g f(?)
d/ 20-12-16" He survived the war, so I know the telegram doesn't relate to his death, am wondering if perhaps one of his sons or brothers was KIA?
any help or pointers on where to find help would be great.
