 Well, I think I now have a definitive answer.

Thank you everybody for your help and so quickly.  :D

The Oxford volunteer group of the British army.

On a second look, there does appear to be several similarities.
The pattern on the sleeve cuff is the same and also the epaulettes.

The belt and leather sash are the same too. They certainly look as if they are from a closely related section of the army.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Although the uniforms are very similar, I think the hats differ somewhat.
Maybe this could be due to a differing regiment?

It seems to me that the hats/ caps have some sort of horn as an emblem on them.

Interestingly my friend thought they looked like American civil war soldiers.

Armed Forces / Uniform identification
« on: Wednesday 26 July 23 18:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

I'm hoping all you experts out there can help identify an army uniform.
A friend of mine bought a very old book and as an added bonus this photo fell out.
The back of the photo is dated June 1861.

I'm not even sure if it is a British uniform.

Any help would be appreciated.

Purely for curiosity's sake.

Many thanks,

Linda

Essex Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage look up for Gullock Please
« on: Monday 22 May 17 19:44 BST (UK)  »
Hi Merryl,

Yes we have spoken before.

I haven't done much in the way of family history for a couple of years now. You get to the point where there are not a lot of records left to search, but this may just draw me back in again.  :)

I'm a bit busy at the moment so will try to look at in the next couple of weeks.

It was Jane, (little fish) that gave me some info. She seems to have a lot more that I have. I think she said that Robert Gullock went to Gravesend.

Something I'll have to look into.

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for the response. Sorry I have taken so long to reply, It's an email that I use less these days. I've looked for every permutation but have had no luck. I am pretty sure that I have connected her into the right family, but have no proof as I have been unable to find her marriage, or birth entry.  :o

I think her father was William Whitethread a Plasterer from St. John's Hampstead. If you find out there is a connection Please get in touch.  :)

Hi Dawn,

Sorry about the post. I didn't realise you had this policy, it's been ages since I visited the site.

I did know about this marriage, but I assumed it was the son's marriage.
This could put a new twist on it if it is the father that remarried.

Thanks,

Linda
