Hello,

As my GG Uncle served with the RPR (Frederick Albert Blewett) I have taken a keen interest in the RPR.

I am sure that you have them, but, I have a copy of your Great Grandfather's Record of Service (one page) and a note in the Times on the 21st June 1900 listing the death of the men killed and wounded at Rhenoster River.

I also have a copy of WO 108/338 List of Casualties, and a copy of your G Grandfather's listing on the Nominal List and finally a copy of his name on the Medal Roll (WO 100/265).

All the images are copyright of the National Archives.

If you would like copies of these, please drop me a note to

Regards,

Just to say all the Enrollment Formed have been copied and I have now completed the Database... so if you have a member of your family that served in the Railway Pioneer Regiment I am happy to see if their form is recorded.

Armed Forces / Railway Pioneer Regiment - Boer War
« on: Monday 24 August 09 22:15 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

Just to update the group that I am currently transcribing the enlistment forms of the Railway Pioneer Regiment from 1899-1902 held at TNA. I would hope to have this completed by the end of October.

At the moment I have transcribed Surnames A - C, and photographed A-E.

If you would like any information on the above just contact me and I will be more than happy to email a copy of the enlistment form.

Regards, Malcolm

Hello Jimmy,

Many thanks for your email. I was delighted to hear from you.

My connection with the Watts family is via my Grandfather who first wife was Francis Watts, sadly she died in 1906.

Thank you for your offer of your family tree, but to be honest I am really just trying to find someone out there who might have a photo of Francis.

I can update you, if you don't already know, about Frances' sister Lucy.

Best regards, Malcolm

Sussex / Robert Watts - Butcher 116 Church Road, Hove, East Sussex Early 1900's
« on: Wednesday 27 September 06 17:01 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

Looking for anyone related to Robert Watts and his wife Emily. Robert was a master Butcher (born Icomb, Gloucestershire 1836) and his wife was Emily (born Chipping Norton, Oxford 1838). They moved with their 7 children William, John, Joseph, Lucy, Frances Higham, Birtie and Martha to run a Butcher's in Church Street, Hove, East Sussex.

My Grandfather William Christoe Blewett married Frances Higham Watts on the 25th May 1904 in London and worked for Robert Watts for a few years until the death of Frances in 1906.

If you are related to the Watts family, I would be delighted to hear from you.

Regards, Malcolm
