Thanks Tom

Hi,
I am trying to help a friend with her Fam Tree and she has a Leonard Robert BRADLEY b 1876 in Islington.

He apparently died on a ship details below in 1917 and the details were found on a website called Remember the Fallen. This answer states that he was in the Army but was a member of the Nigerian Civil Service. It gives details of his marriage to Gertrude FROGGATT.
If he was in the Army as this seems to suggest, why can I not find any details on the CWGC etc

Thanks you Tom

Galway / Burke in Rosscommon area
« on: Saturday 26 August 23 15:36 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,
I have not been on here for a long time now and find that I have had lots of messages that I knew nothing about. Never had any emails to inform me.

However I have had a hint from an acquaintance that the BURKE family may come from Galway so my question and request is.

I have a Johanna BURKE born about 1799 in Ireland. She died in 1858 in Brown Candover, Hampshire.
She was married to James PATIENCE and they had 5 children all born in Brown Candover.

Is it possible to see if someone could find a birth record for Johanna in the Galway area, (Rosscommon keeps being hinted at, but not sure) and possibly even a marriage to James?
I am assuming that he may have likely been in the British Army stationed in the area.

Many thanks to all
Salty

World War One / Army record
« on: Monday 23 January 23 16:18 GMT (UK)  »
Wondering if someone could find any Army / Medal details of a Henry Charles APPLETON who was born at Sherfield on Loddon, Basingstoke 7th April 1895. He died in 1971 in Basingstoke.
It is believed that he was in the 13th Batt of the Hampshire Regt during WW1.

Be very grateful for any info.
Many thanks
Tom
