Hiya

Am trying to think out of the box here

Is there such a place to see the names of the workforce who used to work at Pringles in Hawick in the early 1900's onwards?

A lot of my Ancestors where woollen framework knitters, I know a great aunt did as my mum got lots of cashmere tops from her

Thanks for looking

Hiya

Have got a great uncle in my mums tree who fought in WW2, When the war ended he never returned to UK, instead he married a French girl and stayed to tend the war graves, last known address was in Lilles, so am assuming he tended war graves there. Is there anywhere I can find this out?

His name was Sidney Wilson b1923 in Lincoln and he married a Jeanne in Lille France

Any pointers gratefully accepted

Happy Hunting

Hi Jebber

Thanks for replying, I didn't know if it was a regimental badge as such, Both my Dad and Grandfather where from Scotland, they both served - my Dad was in the Royal Engineers - enlisting at Dunblane and my Grandfather was in the Black Watch and KOSBs, However, I don't know whose this pocket badge came from and why the elaborate embroidery

I still live in hope Jebber of breaking down my wall .... one day.... when he wants to be found

As for the original post, if Sarah was illegitimate then her birth could have been unregistered in this loophole, I have also come across in my own tree two illegitimate births that were registered by the Grandmother, the transcriptions showed grandmothers name so it came up in different searches, but when you looked closer at it the mothers name was there too....Just a thought.

Good Luck

Carolyn
