Hi
I'm new to all this having just started researching my family history in the last week. Luckily I had a start from my parents each having a bit of information.
Looking for details of and parents of Albert Daniel Dowdeswell B: June 1881 in Basford, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom.
I have him marrying twice. Firstly to a Harriet Scarborough (b1875 married 1093) then a Christina Cumming (b1900 married 1925) It was the second marriage that produced my grandfather Harry Dowdeswell (b1926).
Will also need info on the two wife's but figured would check on Albert first :)
Thanks in advance
Emma

He enlisted in the Kings Royal Rifle corp in 1914...but was discharged in 1915 medically unfit for war service. According to the record his father was called John and his mother was Annie.
