Do you know if the family (or extended family) had access to a motor vehicle.  Could they have gone out for a Sunday drive?  It might have taken all day to get there though. Just a guess.

His name, year of birth. ?

His name was William Edward Cook, born circa 1881 in the Islington area .  The family called him "Ted" and it wasn't until we got his marriage certificate that we learned about his full name.

His wife was Louisa Nash and during this time, he had three children - Rose Annie (b 1907), Edward John (1908), and Mary Ann (b 1913).  He also had Louisa (b 1915) who was my nan.  On her birth certificate, it lists him as an ostler and private in the military but it does not give his regiment.

Thanks for sharing Unclejoe!  Do you happen to know what regiments they belonged to?  I am still unable to unlock the mystery of my great-grandfather's military records.  He lived in Islington, and was a drover by trade.  He was in his mid thirties when he joined.  Happily he survived the war.  Perhaps if we discover more about Monsieur Clady, we might find tip.

Did your uncles survive the war?

Thank you for the link. I was able to see a photograph of the Reverend Blackeby and his wife, Kate Amelia Gascoine (my grandfather's Aunt).

Thank you for your replies.  The reason I am interested in Sally Gascoine is because I believe she is actually my 2x great grandmother.

My Sally was actually born Kingsley about 1832 in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. She married Joshua Gascoine in 1855 and had 7 children. One of her children, daughter Kate Amelia Gascoine, married William Thomas Charles Blackeby, and they left England for America about 1884.

I found them residing in the Bronx on the 1900 US Federal Census.

Since I haven't found Sally Gascoine's death in England, I thought perhaps she might have went for America to visit her daughter and family.

I was hoping that perhaps Sally would be living with them, but she is not. Could the Sally living with Frank Walter be his brother's (William ) mother-in-law?
