Hi Genie,

Sorry, this James Wood was a general labourer.  Thanks for asking.  I live in hope of sending this death certificate to someone ...... some day.

Thanks to all those who had a look for my elusive Speeds.

It is the 'water damaged' lot that belong to me.  The name of Jabez is so unique that it has often helped me to trace this line, and confirms it this time as well.

It very nicely fills a gap.

Big thumbs up!

Lancashire Lookup Requests / 1851 SPEED Salford Lancashire
« on: Saturday 03 June 06 11:02 BST (UK)  »
In 1861 George SPEED born 1802 lived at 6 Marshall Street Salford with his wife Ann and several children.

In 1841 he lived at 60 Blackburn Place, Salford with Ann and more children. On the 1841 I found children from a previous marriage for George which I hadn't known even existed. 

I'm really curious to see the data from 1851 if anyone can locate it.

Thanks for looking

Armed Forces / Help to identify Boer War uniforms please

Ooops!  Cut/paste error.  Try these:

The one who died was John Percival Dixon.  He was in the East Lancashire Regiment.  I have found his grave site details, but don't know if one of these photos could be of him.  Two other brothers, David and William probably also served in the Boer War, but I have no other data at the moment.  The Dixons were from Salford and served in the Manchester Regiment and the Lancashire Fusilier during WW1, but I don't know much about their Boer War activities.

Is there a website that shows the uniforms of Boer War regiments, specifically for other ranks?

I have photos of two brothers in their uniforms, which are different. I know that one of them served & died with the East Lancashire Militia. If I could find a picture of the uniforms it might help me put a name to one of the photos.

The photos can be seen at:
