London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Military Records ... Help!!!COMPLETED
« on: Saturday 09 June 07 17:00 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to read through my ggrandads Short Service Record.  What is a "Royal Warrant Army Order 66 of 1902"?  There is also an entry that reads ... 'I elect to come under the new rule for Messg All " as issued in A.O. (Special) of W.O. 2/4/98'.  I guess 2/4/98 is the date of issue ... but that's as far as I can  go with this.  Can anyone help?

Huntingdonshire / John Ringrose
« on: Thursday 26 October 06 20:25 BST (UK)  »
I've just started researching my ggggf John Ringrose and his wife Caroline who lived in Bugden (Buckden)? in the early 1800's.  John was a tailor and born about 1796.   Are there any local histories available?  Descriptions of the village an so on?

Regards

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / ALIAS COMPLETED

I have found reasearching the background of my ggrandfather very challenging.  I think I have made some headway but I wondered if anyone can see obvious errors in my research ....I'm beginning to feel 'I can't see the wood for the trees'.
In short, Charles Ringrose had no history before the 1891 census.  His attestation papers for the RFA list his next of kin as Mary Ringrose, sister 62 Feather St, Kingsland Rd .... (non existent).  John ? brother ..Unknown, Mrs. Caroline Ward, sister, Stoke Newington.  I have traced Caroline, but she was never a Ringrose. She married Joseph Ward in 1880, and her maiden name was Capling.  However, Caroline's mother was Mary Eliza Ringrose, married JOhn Fredrick Capling in 1859. (John F. seems to have no records after 1861) The obvious seems to be that  Eliza Capling remarried, but I can find no evidence of this and in 1881, she lived in Bethnal Green with her two remaining sons, John and Charles Catling.  I can't find any record of any of these Caplings (apart from Caroline) after 1881 ... or on the 1871 census.  Is it too much of a leap to assume that Charles, for some reason, is using his mothers maiden name... an alias?

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Feather St COMPLETED
« on: Wednesday 14 June 06 22:44 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know where Feather Street, Kingsland Road could be?  It is given as an address for next of kin on my ggrandad's military record.  It does not seem to be  on the 1881 census.  I've tried combinations of Leather/ Heather/ Feather St. Street/ Rd, Road - but to no avail ... can anyone help?

Devon / Sayer family of 5 Shepcote Hill Exeter
« on: Wednesday 05 April 06 19:26 BST (UK)  »
My g grandfather Thomas Sayer was born in Exeter and moved to Wales and worked as a miner.  His father was Henry Sayer, (possibly Mark Henry Sayer), a cabinet maker/french polisher.  I am trying to find out what happen to the family after 1881.  Did they all go to Wales or was it just Tom?  I am particularly interested in what happened to Tom's sister Harriet, and his brother Fredrick.

Devon Completed Lookup Requests / Sayer/Sayers
« on: Friday 10 March 06 19:49 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find Thomas Sayer, born 1865 in Exeter, (according to the 1891 census).   He moved to Monmouthshire, but I can't find any reference to him before 1891.  I am trying to find his parents and any brothers or sisters.

One Name Studies: N to S / Ringrose

I'm researching Ringrose families in England, and one in Wales.  My great grandfather was Charles Ringrose, b. 1870 and died in 1910 in Wales.  I'm interested to find his family, where they came from and so on.

Does anyone know how to get information about personnel/soldiers who worked/served at Newport Barracks in the early 1900's?  Are any photographs of soldiers who served in Newport available?
