Armed Forces / William Kelly, Private 13th Foot
« on: Sunday 03 February 19 20:11 GMT (UK)  »
I have hit a brick wall with a Great Aunt (Ellen Cannon b.1841 Birmingham) and her husband William Kelly, who born circa 1840 according to their marriage certificate (they married in B'ham in 1868). 

William was a 'Private 13th Foot' at the time of their marriage which I believe was the Somerset Light Infantry. Excuse my ignorance but would he have been likely to have joined this regiment because he was from Somerset?  I am struggling to find William before 1868 and both of them after the marriage in 1868 (I have Ellen in all census's up to this point and her baptism details etc).

When I search military records there are so many 'William Kelly's'... would he have changed regiments at all depending upon which conflict he was taking part in?  I don't know anything else about him other than his father was a James Kelly who was a Blacksmith (also according to the marriage cert).

Any help pointing me in the right direction would be gratefully appreciated.

Many thanks

Ah that explains it... 

I was getting confused thinking this meant PS as in post script and Harris being the surname of my family involved in the baptism  ::)

Thanks

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Comment of Gt gran's baptism record needs deciphering please
« on: Sunday 27 January 19 15:00 GMT (UK)  »
I've attached a copy of my great gran's baptism record; she is Sarah Jane Harris of Hatton, Warwickshire but I can't quite decipher all of the comments (about her father?) that have been noted on the record.

I would as usual be grateful if anyone is able to help.

Thanks for the link Gadget... it was very helpful

Skoosh my Henry Jukes was born in 1880, son of Thomas Jukes...  his father was also from Brum but his grandfather was from London.
