Hi all,

I have just located an ancestor of mine in the medal rolls for the Second Boer War on ancestry, and being a complete military novice I'm having a bit of difficulty understanding it - I would be really grateful if somebody could explain it to me!

He is Pte H Bailey - regimental number 5024 of the King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment

There are 3 documents on ancestry. One has 23rd M.I Coy in the top corner, another has 2nd Battalion Kings own R.L Regiment. Was one a group within the other? In the second document, he seems to have been crossed off the list -  there is a line through his name and details, and in the remarks column there is a word I can't read and a date 5/01 - is this the date when he arrived in South Africa? The third document just seems to be a copy of the first.

He was invalided on 7/11/02, would this have been the date he was injured, or the date he was sent home from duty?

Many thanks in advance,
millerina 

Hi,

Please could somebody have a look in the 1841 and 1851 census' for:

Sarah Churchill  b.1835 Bloomsbury, London.

I have just received her marriage cert from 1856, and it says her father was Henry Churchill, a Coster-Monger. At the time she was living at Union Place in Shoreditch. One of the witnesses is an Isabella Churchill, so I'm hoping she might turn up living with the family!

Hope this is enough information to go on, I'm really looking forward to finding out more about this new branch of my tree!

Many thanks in advance,
millerina

Please could somebody have a look for this family in the 1891 and 1901 census?:

Henry Kirk b.1859 St Pancras Occ: General Dealer
Sarah Kirk b.1861 St Pancras
and their daughter:
Elizabeth Kirk b.1881 St Pancras

They should hopefully be in the St Pancras area of London!

Many thanks,
millerina 

Please can somebody have a look for this family in the 1901 census, I have spent so many hours looking for them with no luck, they just seem to have completely vanished! 

Benjamin John Bulley b.1848 Romford Essex (He was a Widower in 1901) - he died in 1913.

and his children:

Harrison Bulley b.1875 St Pancras
Eliza Alice Bulley b.1877 St Pancras (She turns up in Ely, Cambs in 1903)
Margaret Rosetta (also known as Rose) Bulley b.1880 St Pancras

also:
Henry (or Harry) Bulley b.1846 Romford Essex

In 1891 they were all living in Upper North Street, Islington, Thornhill Ward.
I have an address for them in 1896 as 63 North Street, All Saints Battlebridge, Kings Cross - and in 1904 I have 61 North Street as their address (both from marriage certs).

I would be so grateful if anybody could spot even just one of these people! 

Many thanks in advance,
millerina
