World War One / Help with visit to London
« on: Sunday 25 October 09 20:05 GMT (UK)  »
I am off to London next week and while I am there I wondered if it would be helpful to me to try and find out anything about my grandad.  He was in the Royal Artillery but there are 5 John Unsworths and the information on the cards are no help of which one is him. Is there anything I can find extra in London or would I just be wasting my time.  I was told his theatre of war was in the arab countries.  Any help you can give me of what to do in London to find out anything would be a god send.  Lizzy

Again I will have to close.  I will have to get in touch with my Uncle Freddy who is John's son and also joined the army as a cook and see what he can remember about his dad.  The trouble was, was Freddy was only 6 when his dad died.  You have been a great help to me.  Lizzy

OK I have downloaded the page from national archives.  There were five names but I have six cards on print.  I have to now figure them all out.  One of them says theatre of war Egypt.  I know my grandad was abroad.  So I will give that one a much more closer look.  Is it possible that there are other John Unsworths though that are not on this database?  Lizzy

Thank you for all your information.  I have to go to work now but I will look into your advice further when I am next free.  My grandad did survive the war.  He died in the 1940's with a bad chest that had him laid up in bed for a couple of years.  He also worked in the mines as a ferrier.  Thank you Lizzy

Hi Wendi.  My grandads name was John Unsworth.  He came from Lowton in Leigh.  So I suppose his regement will have something to do with Lancashire or an area around his home.  His father was David.  I have found something about medals for a John Unsworth on ancestory.com but it was not him.  Any help to start me off on this road I will be extremely grateful.  Lizzy

Any help out there on world war one.
I have been doing my family history for a number of years now but have now decided to find out what I can about my grandads role in the first world war.    I don't know my grandads number.  All I know is he was a ferrier for the 3rd horse artillery.  I have not heard of the 3rd horse artillery.
I have a photo which did apparently have pictures of medals around it but my dad must have thrown that away.
The badge on his cap looks like it has the wheel and crown on top. 
Please any help to start me off.
Lizzy

Hello Lizzie
What were the Paqrents Names re George Davies 1813
Geoff
As it was not my ancestors death certificate I have not done much research.  I think his parents though were Charles and Susannah.  That is what I have in my info while trying to eliminate him.  Lizzy

Ireland / Re: help with VEASEY and the place Charlestown Ireland
« on: Sunday 26 November 06 15:53 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you for he message.  I have Patrick (a labourer) who must have been born around 1830.  Then there are two sons Thomas and our John b.1850.  John was definately in England in 1878 to get married here.  His wife being Winnifred Foy father Matthew who was deceased at marriage.  The 1901 census is the one that says for both John and Winnifred birth Meath Charlestown.  John and Winnifred lived in Wigan but one child was born in Yorkshire (from a census)  and I have noticed a lot of Va/easeys in Yorkshire.  Lizzy
