London and Middlesex / Edmonds/Edmunds Family circa. late 1920,s
« on: Tuesday 04 June 13 12:12 BST (UK)  »
 Is it possible that anybody out there recognises this photo or any of the people depicted. I believe the core family are Edmonds/Edmunds from East London circa. late 1920's. He was thought to have been a traveller with Colonial Home Stores. Any suggestions of other sites to display this photo would be appreciated. Thank you

Armed Forces / 8th Hussars Boer War
« on: Wednesday 25 January 06 11:22 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Izabel.
   I have just become aware of your offer – Thank you.

I am becoming quite desperate in my search for information about my Grandfather and as a long shot I am taking up on your offer of assistance. I have already posted a couple of items on Rootschat under the headings of Dundalk Military Barracks (Ireland,Louth) and 8th Hussars - King’s Royal Irish (Armed Forces).

The only information I have had to guide me so far is from my Father’s Birth Certificate. My father was born 25th December 1900 and his father James Moore is given as Instructor, 8th Hussars of Dundalk Military Barracks. From information implied to me so far, his regiment may well have been in S Africa at this time. Making a few assumptions and applying some elementary mathematics it is reasonable to think that he would not have been in S. Africa during March/April 1900. This seems, at the moment, to be in contradiction with other suggestions offered, regarding postings of this Regiment. As far as I know he attained the rank of Captain though this may have been later. I have photos of him taken in 1912, still in uniform and looking healthy so it seems unlikely that he was a casualty, (if indeed, he ever went to S. Africa.)

I do not know what sort of records are available of military who were posted to S. Africa. If you can suggest any other approach I would be most grateful.

Sorry to be so vague, but this is all I have at the moment.

 I have tried Irish Census record (1901), so far will nil results.

Thank You  Allan Moore

Armed Forces / 8th Hussars (King's Royal Irish)
« on: Wednesday 02 November 05 03:44 GMT (UK)  »
I am seeking any information regarding this Regiment circa 1900. My Grandfather was a member of this Regiment at this time and as far a I know he was stationed at Dundalk Military Barracks, Co. Louth, Ireland.

The grandfather that I seek was JAMES MOORE.

The only information that I have is from my Father's birth certificate registered in the District of Dundalk, County of Louth on 20th Feb 1901.
Name & dwelling place of Father - James Moore, Military Barracks.
Rank or profession of Father - Gymnastic Instructor 8th Hussars.

I believe his rank to have been Captain, though not neccessarily at this time. I can only guess that he would have been born somewhere between 1855 and 1865. I do not even know whether he was born in Ireland or England.

Is anyone aware of any records of personnel at this period or perhaps Census record extracts - 1901?
Any help greatly appreciated, so far all my investigations have come to a dead end.

« on: Wednesday 02 November 05 03:27 GMT (UK)  »
I have memorabilia and several photos of members of 3rd Dragoon Guards (Prince of Wales) Regiment in India circa 1922 including Regimental Football team (with names) and Regimental Band.
My father was a bandsman with this Regiment and I am keen to obtain any information of the Regiment and it company around this time. I am more than happy to share these photos with anyone with similar interest.
