World War One / Re: George Henry Austin
« on: Thursday 22 September 11 21:39 BST (UK)  »
Hello

Thank you for your help.

I found out about his medals here
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/details-result.asp?queryType=1&resultcount=1&Edoc_Id=1213242

Both were on the same page so I presume he is the same person.

What would the medal card show if I were to buy it?

Thank you,
Tilly

World War One / George Henry Austin
« on: Thursday 15 September 11 12:33 BST (UK)  »
Looking for some help researching my great great Grandad. He was born in Shoreham-by-Sea in 1879. Following up family stories I have looked up some war records and found that he served in World War One. This is where he gets confusing (for me), I believe he served in the 495th Heavy Battery Royal Garrison which I think is the North Somerset Yeomanry? Then I found that he also served in the West Riding Royal Garrison Artillery. Firstly, does anyone know why he would serve in a Somerset and Yorkshire regiment when he came from Sussex. Furthermore, how I would be able to find out more information such as service records.

Many Thanks in advance.

Cheshire / John Tilstone/Phoebe Starkey
« on: Wednesday 25 August 10 19:30 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for help in trying to find the parents of either of these two. John Tillstone was born in Chester around 1680 and Phoebe Starkey around 1678. She was a widow when married so Starkey may well be her previous marriage name. They married in 1705 at the Saint John The Baptist Church in Chester.

Any help discovering more about them would be grately appreciated.

Sussex / Re: William Graimes Birth
« on: Saturday 23 January 10 12:20 GMT (UK)  »
In 1891 there was

William H Grahams b.1880
Louise Funnell b.1877 (in law)
Ada Grahams b.1888
Jimmie Grahams 3 months old

All born in Brighton, Mercy Funnell is listed as a mother in law and born in Lewes, in 1857.

In 1901 there is a Florence Funnell born abt 1892, living with George Funnell aged 41 and Mary aged 39, but doubt this is the ones as she is just listed as Daughter.

Sorry for the delay,

Ok, I found William Grahams living with Mercy Funnell on this census Sussex > Brighton > St Peter > District 11 > Image 19 in 1891. Saying that his birth was in 1858 as he was aged 33. And then in 1901. Yeah I also found that with no William in 1911, assuming that he died.

Flora Graimes married William Tillstone in 1912 at Lewes.

I believe that Mercy Funnells maiden name was Mercy Hannah Turner and she was born in 1857.

Still can't seem to find Flora on the 1901 census though,
