Australia / Joseph Hastings
« on: Friday 26 July 19 12:13 BST (UK) »
I am after any information on Joseph Hastings born c1832 Lincoln, England, who arrived in South Australia in 1859 and married Eliza Hannan (Elizabeth Hannah?) in November 1859 Adelaide. His occupation in the UK was Boilermaker. I have details of his life in England but no information on him after his arrival in Australia.

Armed Forces / 1st Battalian Northumberland Fusiliers
« on: Thursday 28 June 18 11:13 BST (UK) »
I have a death certificate for a James Herbert Piper who died in 1930 age 40 at the Infantry barracks in York.
I have his medal card which gives this information, I know it is his as it confirms his death date.
T/26498 -Driver - Army Service Corps
42829 -Driver - Worcestershire Regiment
5239968- Driver Northumberland Fusiliers
Is there anywhere other than applying for his records from the MOD (presuming they have them as he died 1930) that I may obtain a date and place of birth for him
Thank you,
Rosie
