I have just got a copy of records from the WO97 records and my Grandfather has joined the Kings Liverpool Infantry Regiment in India in 1889 British Subject and transferred to England in 1892 and had served in the Boer War and came out in 1902 living in Liverpool.
No mention of later service on the records but I have an Attestation record for 22 June 1915, he is a clerk and the Corps A.S.C.
Does this mean he did further service in the war a note on the top of the record has the word Duplicity written.
He was a widow with small children but the address he has given is Cotton Exchange Hotel Old Hall Street Liverpool.

I posted a photo a few days ago on the restores board and asked on here about Medals so now trying to prove he had been in the war.
If there is a record how can I get it or see it.

Alfred Anderson left the Hussars in 1912 after 18 years service and was a single man age 38, born Blackburn he lived in Liverpool in his early years.
He died in Manchester

"He was a postman retired and the informant was his wife.

Address on the death cert is - Royal Infirmary/77 ? Moss Lane, Sale.
Informant, wife ? L Anderson
edit -- could be a "S" Anderson - not sure"

The death info is from his Military record

There is a marriage in Mar qt 1914 West Darby to a Louisa Edwards but not certian if it was the right Alfred Anderson

Are there any records anywhere without sending for the cert

Thanks

If a person was in the Army for 2 years 152 days then transferred to Royal Navy I have his RN records, how can I find his regiment from the army days without a number to go by as the number I have is too short to be a regimental number.
prior to 1921 he was Army and had a Victory Medal and a bullet wound according to the record
The NA has too many of the same name to find him

I have had a longstanding brickwall on my Harrisons Whitehaven but have justy had a breakthrough hopefully with familysearch records.

I have found a marriage of Jonathan Harrison to Elizabeth Stephenson 26th May 1829 Holy Trinity Whitehaven
I also found the following baptisms

Sarah Harrison 20 August 1829 Pardshaw Whitehaven

Elizabeth Harrison 16 Feb 1832 Pardshaw Whitehaven

John Harrison 30 Oct 1833 Pardshaw Whitehaven

Ann Elizabeth Harrison 09 Sept 1835 Pardshaw Whitehaven

William Harrison 22 Feb 1837 Pardshaw Whitehaven

I am a bit confused as to Pardshaw as I can only find it in Cockermouth but the record says Whitehaven on each of the births

I have sent an e mail to Whitehaven record Office to ask how much it will cost to find and send these records but I dont know what church the baptisms too place.

I have the family in the 1841/51 census in Whitehaven St Bees But there is no child Elizabeth or William so I am assuming these children have died in childhood.

I have Isabella (Gt Grandmother)birth cert born 11 May 1841 Whitehaven
and also there is a Jane Harrison who a birth cert or record for her can not be found as I am in contact with her descendant and census gives 1838/9 as her birth year but she has tried to find it  even asking at the Whitehaven rocord office for a search.

I hope to be able to move on with this family and hope that the Pardshaw births and the marriage record can shed more light

Elizabeth Stephenson was from Alston Moor from the census and hope to find further info on her too.
If anyone has anything that can help I would appreciate it

Thank you

I am researhing for a friend, Flynn/Browne from Limerick.
I have just received the marriage cert  14th April 1902 Cathedral Limerick
of
Gerald Flynn, age 21 bachelor, grocer, 3 Francis Street, father Micheal Flynn Grocer
and
Mary Ellen Browne age 21 spinster of 16,Charlotte Quay,Father William Browne deceased Policeman
witnesses Joseph Comyn and Lizzie Browne

I have the couple in Liverpool Lancashire in 1911 and the census shows that a Sarah Browne1886 St Johns Limerick Ireland and M BrowneWidower (F) 70 1841 Old age pension St Marys Limerick Ireland. are visitors.
I assume that M Browne and Sarah Browne are Mother and sister to Mary Ellen Flynn and also the witness Lizzie Browne on the marriage are all related.

The father William Browne Policeman, is there any information about Policemen in Limerick prior to 1902 when the marriage took place.

Or any other help with this family pre 1911.
