World War Two / War record query
« on: Sunday 05 January 20 13:55 GMT (UK)  »
I have received my uncle's WW2 service records and with the help of the abbreviations booklet, I've been able to interpret most of what's included.  However there is one entry that I've been unable to work out.  On the 8th August 1943 he was "Posted to Depot RA for inclusion in draft REHFO" and on the 10th August was "Posted REHFO".  Does anyone know what REHFO stands for, or was it just a Royal Artillery code that no longer has any meaning?

Any help either way would be greatly appreciated.

Occupation Interests / Help! What was a colliery marker?
« on: Friday 23 March 18 14:12 GMT (UK)  »
A report in the South Wales Daily Post of 30th April 1900 detailed an accident at the Myrtle Hill Colliery, Aberavon.  The victim, Thomas Evans (possibly my great-grandfather), was described as a marker at the colliery.  I've looked up various glossaries of mining terms but have drawn a blank as to the role of a colliery marker.

Can any Rootschatter help, please?

An ancestor of mine was born in Dolgoch about 1796. In which parish register would I start looking for more information?
