World War One / He died twice!? - Multiple KIA dates (& proof!)
« on: Monday 10 July 23 07:31 BST (UK)  »
Hi all, please help, am I being stupid?
When researching this soldier, I consistently find two KIA dates. On the attached image, both appear on the same record. How do I interpret this?

In the war office daily list, he is reported wounded, then missing, then killed. I wonder if that might explain it?

Thanks in advance my friends!

The Common Room / Missing Pages/addresses in census?
« on: Friday 07 July 23 19:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi!
I'm using ancestry so can't search censuses by address.
I have found 174 Bute St, Cardiff, in 1871 and 1891 but can't in 1881.
Strangely, I have found 175 Bute St (RG 11/5280, p90) but the page before is a different street.

Can anyone help me?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / What is this alias and why would they have one?
« on: Saturday 21 August 21 14:19 BST (UK)  »
Hey all!
Please see the last record. The surname is Jeffery but I can't decipher the alias.
Bonus question: Why might folk have an alias?

Thank you all very much!!

P.S. I tried to attach a png/jpg but the file was too big, hence the pdf.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / How does one catch gonorrhoea?
« on: Wednesday 09 June 21 12:49 BST (UK)  »
See attachment for Francis Day's military record. I can't read the 'treatment' or 'observation' column for his admission to hospital with gonorrhoea. Any help appreciated!
ALSO - I can't read the locations in the first column which appear between his two trips to Aldershot. I believe he served on the Gold Coast in the third anglo-ashanti war if that helps.
Thank you!!

Armed Forces / Where to start on the Anglo-Ashanti Wars?
« on: Tuesday 08 June 21 15:54 BST (UK)  »
I have discovered that an ancestor fought in the Anglo-Ashanti Wars and was awarded the Gold Coast / Ashantee Medal (Coomassie Clasp).
Where can I turn for more information on the campaigns, especially the involvement of his regiment 1/23 and 2/23 Royal Welch Fusiliers?
Thank you!

Armed Forces / Lookup Request: Ashanti Medals // Gold Coast Medal // Ashanti Star
« on: Tuesday 08 June 21 15:49 BST (UK)  »
I hope I'm doing this right, I saw a post which offered lookups and asked for request to start new threads.

Please could someone look up Francis Day
born circa 1852 in Newport, S Wales
Enlisted into the 23rd Regt in Nov 1870
The number 76 appears on some of his papers, I think this is his regimental number

Thank you!!
