Hi, would anyone have information or links to licensed victuallers records in Liverpool from about 1880 onwards?

World War One / A.S.C. in first world war
« on: Saturday 27 April 19 15:02 BST (UK)  »
hi, would anyone know how to go about finding a soldiers company during WW1? I am looking for my grandad and I know he was in the army service corps and his regimental number which started with m2/ so I know he was with mechanical transport. his medal index card says he entered France on 31/10/15 but I don't seem to be able to find out anything about where exactly he was or what he did. I realise I am probably clutching at straws here but any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

many thanks

Family History Beginners Board / Horse keeper
« on: Tuesday 18 September 18 11:19 BST (UK)  »
Hi all, would anyone know what a horse keeper would do in 1870's Liverpool. I know that may sound daft but my GGG grandfather was listed as horse keeper but lived in haylock street (Dingle area I think). I was wondering if it would be anything to do with the "omnibuses" as he was previously an omnibus conductor.
Another of his jobs was a ' towns waiter'  anyone able to help as to what exactly this was?
Many thanks

World War One / 11th July 1916, Frederick Shaw, aged 22, Kings Liverpool regt
« on: Thursday 12 July 18 17:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi, could anyone tell me how I can find the platoon and section my great uncle served in?
I know he was a Lance corporal in the 20th (service) battalion Kings Liverpool Regiment (4th pals). His service number was 23828.
I know he died of wounds on 11th July 1916 at no5 hospital which was set up on the racecourse in Rouen and is buried in St. Sever cemetery just next to it. I know his regiment were involved in fighting for Trones Wood in the early hours of 11th July but I'm not sure if he was wounded here or earlier and succumbed at a later date.
I'm trying to find as much about him as I can and would appreciate any help anyone could give.

Family History Beginners Board / Charles Obst
« on: Thursday 14 June 18 16:17 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I'm looking for information about my g g uncle. His name was Charles Obst and he was from Saxony, Prussia originally. I know he lived in Liverpool and was a tailor. The earliest I can find anything about him is about 1859. I'm wondering how to find how he came to be in Liverpool and when he arrived (and why?) As far as I can tell he was the only Obst here until he had his children.
Any help would be great
Thanks
