That was my only reservation for not ignoring this particular set of records completely. I have searched to find another Edward Lauderdale and can only find mine. The only other I can find was a cousin of his who unfortunately died in infancy. Maybe I am missing something, certainly wouldn't be the first time ::)

Thanks

Thank you for getting back to me. He just had a familiar look. Mine came from Crawcrook and Ryton Durham from the 1700's on.

Hi Jim

Would you say this could be my Gt GT Grandfather then? Does the age difference tally with things which happened back then. I know from his granddaughter that he was supposed to have been in WW1. I had thought that he would have possibly been too old. I don't think I have ever managed to find any army records for the Edward Lauderdale mentioned on the medal card, etc.. that would prove one way or the other that this is or isn't mine.  Any help once again would be truly appreciated.

Thanks

You never know, maybe it is the same man. Will dig a bit deeper. Thanks

Thanks YFS

Yes, that's my family. Most of their children were either in service or left home by the 1911 Census. My gt grandmother, Edward & Mary's daughter was in London working as a Servent.

My main curiosity at this time is more the Military side. Especially relating to Edward. This is the only photo I have of him and I find it intriguing.

As for the records I think this is the man who was only aged 41 when he was demobbed due to something to do with his spine.

Thank you Jim. Feel a bit stupid now :-\ It was fairly obvious once you stated it. Totally appreciate it.

National Archive medal card index (WO 372) has:
Lauderdale, Edward, Private 21/598 Northumberland Fusiliers

Thanks Philip. Unfortunately I can't be sure this is him as other information states that this man was 41 years old when demobbed. Mine would have been near 52. He died in 1920 aged 55 years.

Shoulder title "T" usually denotes TF however this is placed over the County name & as you can see this is on it's own.
He's wearing the pre 1916 economy tunic so at the moment I would say he's pre war TF.

Thanks Jim. You will have to forgive my ignorance but what does the TF stand for. Cheers Brian
