World War One / World War One Record of Charles Leeson

« on: Friday 27 November 09 10:19 GMT (UK) »

Hello All
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me find the WW1 record of Charles James Leeson, from Northampton. I know that he married in Middlesborough in 1918, so perhaps he was based somewhere near there?!? I'm not 100% sure that he DID fight in the war, but I'd still like to find out definitely!
Thanks

Occupation Interests / leather dresser (journeyman)

« on: Saturday 07 November 09 10:56 GMT (UK) »

Hi all,
What was a leather dresser (journeyman)? It is listed exactly like that on my grandmother's birth certificate in 1918. Is it something to do with the war? As the man in question was in the Royal Army Service Corps in 1918; I know he was involved with the transporting of horses...so I would have assumed that he would have put something about being a soldier rather than a leather dresser?!?
Any help appreciated

Bedfordshire Lookup Requests / HELP! - Marriage look-up please!

« on: Tuesday 03 November 09 13:43 GMT (UK) »

Hi All
Am looking for the marriage of Hattie E Stock to William A Leeson, which I *believe* happened sometime in the late 1950s i.e. 55 onwards. I have an inkling it may have been 1957, and in Bedford, but no conclusive proof as yet! Please could someone with acces to marriage records look it up for me! I would be verrrrrrry grateful!!!

World War One / Royal Army Service Corps

« on: Monday 02 November 09 19:50 GMT (UK) »

Hello All,
My great-grandfather served as a driver in the Royal Army Service Corps in WW1. His name was William Leeson (he was discharged in September 1918) - I was wondering how I could find out more about both him and the RASC? Plus - and I know this is a long shot - would there be any way of finding a photo of him in his uniform anywhere? His service number was T/425513

London and Middlesex / Marriage Of Frances Phillips

« on: Friday 30 October 09 09:28 GMT (UK) »

Hello
Can anyone help me find the marriage of Frances Phillips to George Jackson? Frances was born 1893, and George was born around that time as well. I think that they would have been living in London (Holborn perhaps?) but am not 100% as I can't pimpoint when Frances moved to London (she previously lived in Cornwall).
Thanks!
