World War One / Pte James Straney, 5096, 2bt Dorsetshire Regt., KIA 1/12/1915, Mesopatania.
« on: Wednesday 27 December 17 17:00 GMT (UK)  »
This is new ground for me trying to find military records, so any help would be appreciated.
The National Archives medal rolls are as far as I have ventured up to now. 

If possible I am trying to find the military records for James Straney, for a relative of mine, his grand daughter.  Her mother was about 2 years old when James Straney's wife died, around 1909 and their 3 toddlers were separated, assume to relatives, as James Sraney must have been a regular soldier.
J. Straney's marriage certificate on General Records Office Northern Ireland website, his occuptation is recorded as soldier, his address as Mitchell Barracks, Belfast.

Medal rolls have his medals as, 1915 star, war and victory.
Is it possible to find out if his medals were issued and if not, is it possible to apply for them ?.
Information below from C.W.G.C., website.
Pte James Straney, 5096, 2 Bt. Dorsetshire Regt., K.I.A., 1stDecember 1915.
Recorded on the Basra Memorial.

Any guidance would be appreciated and thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
DixieDee

Hi.
Trying to find out what became of Margaret Campbell, born 30 April 1909, Toronto, Canada.
Father, Robert Campbell, mother Margaret Dougherty. Married 1907, City of Brantford, Ontario, Canada.
May have been sent to live with relatives in Kells / Connor area, Campbells or Carsons, when her father remarried in Belfast.

Hi folks.
Was hoping that it might be possible to make adjustments to the fading on this print.
The photo is important to my niece and she asked me to copy it. A copy is no problem, but adjusting the colours is beyond me.
Thanks in advance,
Dixie

Armed Forces / Austin Motors war years.
« on: Tuesday 01 June 10 17:50 BST (UK)  »
A couple of sections on this site, Austin Memories, may be of interest.
www.austinmemories.com
"The War Years" and the section on "Aircraft Production", may be worth a visit.
I thought the section on the Mini Moke interesting. I didn't know it had been intended for the military to use, but it's low ground clearance made in unacceptable.

Make these forms for use at the PRONI and the LDS Family History Centre. Thought they might prove usefull for downloading and at least show what information is on the birth, marriage and death certificates.

World War Two / WW2 Merchant Navy records.
« on: Tuesday 29 December 09 12:46 GMT (UK)  »
Hi folk.
I have the National Archives references for relatives that served in the Merchant Navy during WW2, but would appreciate info on the best records to request with reference to their service. There appears to be four sources that records are drawn from.
 The N.A., warns that if all are requested it could run into a lot of pages and may be expensive.
