Armed Forces / can anyone identify these uniforms please
« on: Saturday 13 November 10 22:12 GMT (UK) »
I amresearching my family history and have recently come across some family photos that I was hoping you could help me with. I have no idea what regiment or year these photo’s are from, except for photo number 2.
I was hoping someone may take a look and see if you could identify them
Photo number 2 is my grand dad. He served with the Royal horse Artillery and served in both the first and second world wars, and I think this was the Hockey team maybe.
The other photos are possibly William Oakley and other family members.

Armed Forces / Re: Where were the 19th hussars in 1911
« on: Thursday 11 November 10 16:47 GMT (UK) »
Thanks for all your help.
Carol: I will try to get the death cert for the William oakley who died 1903 aged 32 as my william was born in 1871 so dates would tie in.
His wife was Mary anne William? born in india 1879. This was information I got from thier marriage certificate.
Thier son Albert was born 1897 succunderbad india.
It was on n his birth certificate that William was listed as being in the 19th hussars rank no 3182.
I can find nothing for this number.
Ken and Neil Thank you so much for the information.
I have a photo of the family and Mary looks indian..........
putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 20 lol I wonder if that was my williams death in 1903 if Mary would of took herself and Albert to india for any reason.
I can find passenger records of a mary oakley travelling to india with a child and infant in 1906? so that would explain not finding them on the 1911 census.
But Albert did end up residing in the uk...... he himself was a military man and died in exeter devon 1962.
Thanks for all your help ;0)

Armed Forces / Where were the 19th hussars in 1911
« on: Thursday 11 November 10 13:24 GMT (UK) »
HI please can someone with more military knowledge than me help me with the history of the hussars.
i am slightly confused with there where abouts.
My husbands great great grandfather was serving with the Hussars , and i am presuming that in 1897 they were stationed in india, as while there they had a son born 1897, on his birth certificate it states father william oakley rank 19th hussars reg no 3182.
Then on the 1901 census, Williams wife Mary and thier son were living back in uk at the canterbury barracks kent.
William can then be found on another census at canterbury barracks but residing seperate from mary. (looks like all the 19th hussars were living together on this census all men)
So my questions are, would William of been in india in 1897, or possible in africa (as i thought thats where the hussars were in 1897) if so was it normal for wifes and families to stay in india and not return to uk.
Would it be possible that when the whole family returned to uk which i am presuming must of been 1900/1901 going by the census info, they would of gone to reside at different quarters on the same barracks.
Sorry but my history is not that good. I have googled and looked on many advised sites, but find i get lost with it all.
Where did the hussars go after 1901?
I cannot find any of them on the 1911 census, but there is a death for a willian oakley in 1903 canterbury. (not sure if this is my william i will have to get the certificate)
If it was his death it could explain why i can't find mary and albert on 1911 census if she remarried.
He does not appear on any of the boer war medal records that i can see. Was not every soldier in the boer war issued a medal?
Regards
