World War One / Enrolment numbers and kit - Sheffield and Grimsby

If you lived in Grimsby or Sheffield which army regiment would you have likely joined?
I have a knife issued to John (Jack) Brannon number on it 963058, who I think lived in Sheffield area, and a pair of woolly underpants issued to a man surname Shaw from Grimsby number 1144302.
Were the numbers consecutive to the individual regiment, or nationwide?

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Re: Abraham Banks Chester Dentist?

Thanks for replying.
I have been doing a bit of digging for Alan Banks Chester, Peter's step brother. He never really knew his Dad as he died when he was very young, and his Mum hasn't told him much either. I have been in touch with Ruth and Peter Kerr, who are in touch with Bronte, and she identified some family photos including Abraham. I printed off some information for Alan but I haven't heard from him since. Perhaps the vision of a family going back hundreds of years was too much! I will wait for him to get back in touch with me, so I can tell him all the other things I know, and then I will get back in touch with you. Thanks for writing - very kind of you

Thanks for that info, but you surely aren't leaving it there? Where did you get the info from? I know he worked in Mansfield because my dentist trained with him, but he died a few years ago, so I can't ask any more questions. I have made a big connection with his family up in Malham but they haven't said anything about his training.
Please put me out of my misery!!! :-\

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Abraham Banks Chester Dentist?
« on: Friday 27 August 10 19:09 BST (UK)  »
A B Chester was born in 1901 in Malham Moor Yorks. Does anyone know where he could have studied dentistry possibly in the 1920/30's?
Does anyone know if there is access on-line to dentist lists of about that time, or would I have to write to the British Dental Association?
Thanks for you help

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Samuel Pigeon born 1777 Yorkshire
« on: Sunday 26 July 09 12:45 BST (UK)  »
Need to find anyone with interests in the name Pigeon - or the other ways of spelling it! I have Samuel marrying Elizabeth Birkinshaw 24 October 1768 Catherdral St Peters Sheffield IGI M007756, and no other mentions of him at all. I added the name to my interests and it didn't even come up matching anything. He had a son William b1797 who married Hannah Hernden (or Bradbury according to the IGI C150523) and that's a bit of a mystery too. Anyone got any ideas please?
