Armed Forces / Boer War medals 1900 and 1901?
« on: Saturday 04 October 08 23:15 BST (UK)  »
Hi folks!

I am hoping that one more clever than I might be able to help me understand our Alfie's medals.

Amongst his discharge papers (post WW1) there were the sections below. My question is about the South Africa medals: there was a Queen's South Africa Medal and a King's South Africa Medal but which would Alf had been awarded? The dates on Alf's "South Africa" medals don't seem to match the QSA or KSA. Confusing!

Thank you in advance for your time and expertise, which is always given so generously!

Cheers

Hi folks... I believe this photo was probably taken in Queensland, Australia (I only have a digital copy of it). Would anyone be able to take a stab at the date it was taken? I believe the folk were German.

As always, thanks so much for your time, wonderful people!

I'm after a burial for a John Evans (parents John and Susan/Susannah) in Bridstow Herefordshire, probably 1835 or 1836. He would have been an infant and was baptised in Bridstow 4 Apr 1835. Can anyone help me out?

The Common Room / Can you read this..? German
« on: Tuesday 09 January 07 11:39 GMT (UK)  »
Hi folks - can anyone help?

This is a fragment from the Hamburg ships list. My guy is Otto Stocker, from Huckeswagen in Prussia (Preussen). His occupation in the fourth column is ditto of the one above; very unclear and in German to boot lol. The year is 1865 and the image number on Ancestry is 37 of 592 for that year.

Thanks a million as always for your help...

Ger :)
