or as she would have been a baby when they travelled from England to US - Mary Evelyn Astbury may not have been listed.

Yes that is her in Princess Street. It's been years since I did any research on the family tree - so will need to investigate 1939 Register as that will give her date of birth.

Hertfordshire / Is anyone going to Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies soon?
« on: Friday 16 September 16 15:44 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I live in Australia & I am researching Australian soldiers who died in WW1 & are buried in the UK for this website
http://ww1austburialsuk.weebly.com/

I am currently researching Percy William Toogoood who enlisted in England with 1st King Edward's Horse, service number 653.

According to the UK Army Registers of Soldiers’ Effects it states he committed suicide yet the newspapers in Australia report that he died from wounds received in action. It would be a big mistake to say he committed suicide if in fact he didn't.

I have contacted the Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies & they advise that there are 2 newspaper items for Trooper Toogood:
 1)   A picture in the Herts Advertiser of Trooper Toogood in the 9 January 1915 edition
2)   A report of the funeral of Trooper Toogood in the 4 September 1915 edition of the Hertfordshire Mercury.

The Archives want £15 or a copy of each newspaper article for £10 per item. I have around 2,000 soldiers to research & can't justify paying that much money.

SO if anyone is going to the Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies soon & would be able to help me out with the 2 newspaper items - it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Australia / Rookwood Cemetery, NSW - Photo request

Hi
I am researching all the Australian Soldiers that died in WW1 & are buried in the UK for this website
http://ww1austburialsuk.weebly.com/

I am currently researching Gunner Herbert George FLAXMAN, 25632, Australian Field Artillery who died on 25th November, 1918 & was buried in Southern Cemetery, Manchester, England.

From researching - the Cemetery Headstone Transcriptions on Ancestry have this information
Herbert George Flaxman died 25 Nov 1918 Buried Rookwood Cemetery Section - RRR Row 7 Plot 328 Old Church of England with an inscription of "Gnr. Bert. Our bro. Killed on active Service."

Just wondering if anyone is going to Rookwood soon & may be able to have a look & take a photo for me to go with the 9-10 page word document biography I am doing for the website

Thanks for your time
Cathy
(Modified to show Grave Plot number)
