Armed Forces / Cap Badge
« on: Friday 16 April 10 18:51 BST (UK) »
I have a photo of my Great Grandfather in Army uniform and I would like to know which regiment he served in.
He was born in 1877.
The cap badge looks like a horse running with the name maybe underneath. It's so small though on the photo.
He lived in lancashire if that's any help.
Thank you

I have absolutely no idea but a fresh pair of eyes might see something I'm not!

Thanks Allan appreciate you help 
Thinking about it, that's quite spooky as my Robert Davies' dad married Margaret Eliza Holland! (could be a connection there!)

so I suppose I'll never know 
Well I thought that was the last piece of the jigsaw but I wonder if there is a grave in Odessa

Mmmm
Been having trouble for weeks with this one.
Every census shows him born in Bolton.
The only thing that I can come up with are that his Mum and brother were living in Gloucester on th 1871 with Dad and 2 siblings still living in Bolton so maybe he had been living with Mum but went off to sea before the night of the census.
Does anyone know how to check the ship census records for 1871 please?
