Berkshire / Re: Walter Jennings Farey/Fairey/Fairy died 1856 Radley

Well that is terribly unlucky.

Thank you for finding those articles.

I have made enquiry at Radley College to see if they have any records going back that far.

One more thought I had, I wonder if there are newspaper reports of some kind of accident.

Apologies for the delay in responding, Sunday afternoon nap time turned into weekly family dinner and I lost track of time.

Thank you Alan & Kay for the burial transcriptions, I think it adds greatly to be being the correct person.

I will now look at the GRO on how to get the missing reference located.

Berkshire / Walter Jennings Farey/Fairey/Fairy died 1856 Radley
« on: Sunday 24 March 24 04:14 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All,

I have a Walter Jennings Farey baptised 31 Dec 1837 at St John's Hackney London to James (a coachman) and Mary Farey of Dalston.  I then have him with his parents and numerous siblings in the 1841 Census in Charles Street West Hackney, and the 1851 Census at Elizabeth Place West Hackney.  I haven't been able to locate him after this last for some time now.

Today I put his details into findmypast and came up with a death in 1856 at Radley Berkshire of Walter Jennings Fairy born 1838.  Now this is pretty encouraging although I have no idea why he would be in Radley.

I checked this on freeBMD and got Walter Fairey died 9/1856 Abingdon (which includes Radley) Vol 2c p163.  I then went to the GRO site to order an image and their search doesn't locate this death at all.

What I would like, if any-one can help, is any further details on the burial entry; find the GRO entry so I can order an image; or think of any reason why a poor 18yo lad from Dalston/Hackney would be so far from home in Radley Berkshire.

Cheers, Colin

Armed Forces / Re: Service record - Allan Perry b1860 d1929
« on: Friday 01 December 23 05:12 GMT (UK)  »
There is a possible on the uk.forceswarrecords.com website in their UK, Records of Officers Services, 1775-1914 data set for A Perry.

As I don't have a subscription I can't see anything else but it is the only A Perry there and the blurred out image looks to have a lot of information.  When I search it is record 35 of 49.

Can anyone look at that for me, please?

Were there other children?
Were they all baptised in Falmouth? 
Have you traced them to see where they went?
Did William witness their weddings?

Are there any wills in which William could have been a named beneficiary?

Did William join the army or the navy? merchant navy?

Did William commit a crime? Could he have been transported?

Did William and/or the family emigrate? America, Canada, South Africa, India, Australia, New Zealand etc

Armed Forces / Service record - Allan Perry b1860 d1929
« on: Wednesday 29 November 23 04:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All,

I am looking for a detailed service record of this man and offer the following to help locate it:

Allan Perry born 17 Apr 1860 at Luton Kent to Isaac & Betsy Kains (nee Bond) Perry

He went in to the Army Medical Dept in Aug 1884 and was appointed surgeon from Jan 1885; promoted to surgeon captain in early 1892; promoted to surgeon major in 1897.

He then left the army shortly thereafter to become Principal Civil Medical Officer and Inspector-General of Hospital in Ceylon and was there for over fifteen years.  He was knighted in 1904.

He re-activated for WWI into RAMC as a major and later lieutenant colonel running the Harvard Unit at General Hospital No22 at Camiers in France, then was at the Auxiliary Hospital for Officers at Fowey Cornwall.

Any information is gratefully received.

Cheers, Colin

Essex / Re: Thomasin Chalk baptism 1697
« on: Monday 30 October 23 00:15 GMT (UK)  »
Firstly, my apologies for not responding sooner.  I shouldn't ask questions late on a Friday when I have a busy weekend ahead.

Thanks to suffolk*sue for the baptism register information; disappointing but not unexpected.

Now to ColC; I think that is Thomas Chalk having further children and I believe the marriage is in 1707 at Hatfield Broad Oak to Mary Seach.

Mary can't be the mother as she was baptised 1685 at Hatfield Broad Oak making her only 12 when Thomasin was baptised.

Ahppy to look at any ideas others may have.

Cheers, Colin
