World War One / Albert Syme, Royal Army Service Corps, serving in Palestine WW1
« on: Monday 14 July 14 20:08 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help me locate the WW1 service records for Albert Baird Frew Syme?He was born in 1889 in Glasgow.
He is believed to have served in the Royal Army Service Corps as a Sergeant, possiblywith, 967th Mechanical Transport Company, but I do not know his regimental number.
I have copies of pages from his diary and would like to know if anyone can decipher the entry dated Thursday, 1 February 1918, where he writes "Had our Ranks confirmed today". Subsequent writing in that entry makes no sense to me. Any help greatly appreciated.

Herefordshire Lookup Requests / Eli Smith family, Hereford 1895-1911
« on: Monday 07 July 14 18:02 BST (UK)  »
I live in Texas, USA, and am searching for the marriage of Eli Smith and Florence, maiden name unknown, so I can determine the maiden surname of my great grandmother, Florence, born in Kidderminster about 1875. The 1911 census states they are married and have 2 daughters, both born in Hereford, but I can find no record of such births.

Can anyone help me with my search to find birth records and marriage record:
1.    Lilian May Smith, born August 1897, Hereford
2.   Georgina Elizabeth Smith, born about 1895, Hereford
3.   Marriage record for Florence, maiden name unknown and Eli Smith, marriage date and place unknown, but 1911 census states they completed 17 years of marriage.
 
I believe that my grandmother, Lilian May Smith was born 23 August 1897 and birth place is stated as Hereford (1901 and 1911 England census). She married George Jeens Williams 8 June 1916 in the parish church, Sutton & St Nicolas. Her residence is listed as Sutton St Nicholas on the certified copy of marriage certificate.
1911 England census lists my Smith family as follows:
•   Eli Smith, age 67, born Cheltenham, Glos., married, head of household, occupation, Market Gardener & Farmer
•   Florence Smith, age 35, married (17 years), born Kidderminster, Worcs.
•   Georgina or Lengina Smith, daughter, age 16, single, born Hereford
•   Lilian May Smith, daughter, age 13, born Hereford
Residence 143 St. Owen Street, Marden House, Hereford
Any clues or assistance is very much appreciated. I have exhausted the avenues that I am aware of.
