Thank you all for all your hard work.
Will look for certificates where I can, and perhaps come back.
Still confused by Alfred John - born Jersey 1876.......

Thank you again

Thank you both for all that info.... and many apologies for saying Charles Arthur instead of Alfred..

Would the different birthplace for son arthur - 1881 st lukes Middlesex , 1891 Jersey, be of any significance...
Thanks especially for that info about Ruth - will look more into that.
Regards
Tunod

Family History Beginners Board / Charles A Betts - A mythical man??
« on: Sunday 06 August 23 21:03 BST (UK)  »
Hoping someone can help me find some information regarding Charles Arthur Betts.

He appears as the father of another Charles Arthur Betts on his sons marriage certificate, dated September 8th 1907 when the son married Elizabeth Minnie Gilbert.

This seems to be his only appearance in the census.  I believe the son, Charles Arthur Betts is living in Islington in 1901 with his mother Alice Betts and his sister Ruth. Alice is living on her own means.
In 1891 Alice's children are Arthur Jnr? Charles and Ruth.

I cannot find birth details for any of Alice's children.  The only place he is mentioned is on his son's marriage certificate.  I am beginning to think perhaps he did not exist though Alice shows as a widow in the 1911 Census.

Can anyone help me find this Charles Arthur Betts, Traveller, his 'wife' was born approx 1856 in Romford Essex so I was guessing he might be a similar age.  The oldest child was born 1876  and the youngest, Charles born 1887.  Most grateful for any help or guidance.

Such a small detail but so much information.  Thank you.  I had wondered who all the people were in the photos mainly because I wondered if they were relatives.  I have been looking for traces of Thomas Wilson's brother George who I never knew existed until  recently.  He was never mentioned during my childhood and I can find very little mention of him except in the census.

I don't think I have found him but Have at least learnt a little more re the people my grandfather was in some way close to.
Thank you for taking the time to reply.  Tunod

Regarding the wedding ring - I think it may be a signet ring as it is his left hand and he did wear one in later life - He did not marry till November 1919 and gives bachelor and not widower on his marriage certificate
Thanks for the other info. Tunod

World War One / 3rd photo of Thomas Wilson - Ref my Seaforth Highlanders Post of 16th July.

This is the third photo of my grandfather Thomas Wilson as referred in my Post of 16th July regarding Seaforth Highlanders.
In this photo he is on the right.  Would my grandfather always have worn the kilt i.e. could the other men in the photo also be Seaforth Highlanders.  Might this photo be when Thomas was in the Labour Corps.
Thank you for your help. 
(Etiquette wise - could I have made all this part of my original post?  |If so I wasn't sure how to do that.)

This is the second photo of my grandfather, Thomas Wilson as per my post on 16th July - Seaforth Highlanders.

In this photo he is on the left and again I am seeking information regarding the badges of the others in the photo. I note their hat badges differ from that of my grandfather  I believe his badge was a stag's head.
Thank you
Tunod.

Most grateful for the info regarding my Seaforth Highlanders photo.

I wondered if you could glean any further information either about my grandfather and his service record or the other gentlemen in the attached photos.

I think I will have to post all three photos separately cause of their size?
In this photo Thomas Wilson is on the left, (wearing a rather fetching bonnet!)  Could anyone identify the hat badge of the man on the right.
Thank you. Tunod
