Armed Forces / Re: identification of army regiments
« on: Sunday 21 February 10 15:14 GMT (UK)  »
I have obtained the service papers of both my relatives.

The elder seated gentleman was orginally enlisted in the 84th regiment when he signed up in 1878 - he served until 1890.  He was reenlisted in 1914 to the 10th batt. London reg and transferred to the 6th royal defense corps in 1916 before his discharge in 1917 on medical grounds.

The younger gentleman was enlisted in the 11th batt. County of London - The London Regiment and served 1911-1916.

Does this information fit with the photo?

Yes and 1871 too.

I'll have a good look for his death maybe he'd died by 1891 despite Eliza describing herself as married as opposed to widowed.

Thanks once again for your help.

Wow you have been busy - plenty for me to be getting on with here.

You'll find Eliza in 1891 in Knighton only she's called Mary at this point for some unknown reason - children are Edith and Elisetreth (another mistrans I presume).

Thanks very much for your help with this.

That's very kind of you to offer.  Details as follows.

Henry Marris (21 - Shoe riveter) married Eliza Wilkins (24), March 1886, Wesleyan chapel, Derby.  Father John Marris (Gardener).

This would mean Henry is born approx 1864.  I have found Eliza with children on 1891 and 1901 census but no sign of Henry (Eliza is described as married i.e. not a widow), although Henry is deceased by the time his daughter marries in 1907.

Henry's occupation is variably shoe riveter, policeman on his children's birth certificates that I have.  On one of the birth certificates he is listed John Henry.

Thanks for your help with this.

Might not be mine then - I'm looking for a policeman.

Please can you tell me where Henry was born and if he was married.

That way I can eliminate him from my list of possibles.

Thanks
