hi, another military puzzle... I hope you can help with.

both men are supposed to have served in WW1, one is believed to be named on the Ypres Menim Gate. not sure of unit or battle that resulted in death.

Charles H Winsor 19 on 1901 census
George H Winsor  17 on 1901 census.... father was Charles, mother was Susanna

seek help with military service history, medals, regiment/unit, death.

Hello to all you kind souls,

I seek help finding the service records and/or medal records for William Henry Clapp.....I am drawing blanks and going around in circles, I barely qualify as novice.

William is listed on 1901 census married to Fanny Lavinia, 3 children.
He is listed as being in 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards.

the family verbal history is that he served in Boer war and WW1. one of his sons has the name Belmont....a boer war battle and a medal from this was handed down along with WW1 medals.

the family seek to find what he was actually awarded, where served....any military history.

many thanks .
 

Hi,

I hope some helpful soul can assist me.
I have a Rattenbury in my family (late 1700's early 1800's) in the Devon area and wondered if "my" Rattenbury might be associated with the famous smuggler, Jack.
So the question is this; what is known of Jacks ancestry and or his children?
I understand that his father was on a man-o-war by the time Jack was born, but did Jacks father have other children or perhaps brothers (uncles to Jack)

My reason for the enquiry is NOT so that i can say I'm related to someone famous but in order to try and take my Rattenbury line further back in time

My Rattenbury is/was Joseph born around 1791 and married to a Mary Wingett
If Jacks family is to difficult then perhaps Joseph ancestry can be found.

Hello,

I hope some kind soul can help me with what is becoming a rather big headache.

I am seeking help with trying to find some of my wife's family and the very numerous cousins that no doubt exist. 
The problem is that the name is very common in the area and it is proving difficult to sort out all the false leads and red herrings.
Info so far;
 Cook Davison b.1825 married to Elizab' Kettle b.1826 in Oct 1851
Issue;
John b.1855,  Edward b.1856,  Valintine b.1858,  Ann b. 1860,  James b.1862,  Elizab' b.1863,  Cook b.1865,  Robert b. 1867  (no help need with Robert at this time unless it involves WW1 service details)

I can find most of the family up to the 1881 census with a degree of certainty, but would like to find further in respect of; who married who, where and when and if they had issues.  If the issue had family this would be a bonus.

Cook snr & Elizabeth seemed to have all the children in Houghton Le Spring except Robert
Finally i can't seem to find Cook & Elizabeths' burials.

I know this is a lot to ask, but my ability/experience to sort out all the confusing stuff is limited.

Many thanks to ALL.

HI,

I hope some help with the following can be given.

A John Cater  and  Marthe Margerson were the parents of;
Charles   b. abt 1803  in Ashill, Norfolk
Maria       b. 7 April 1804  Ashill
Ellen        b. 17 Feb 1807 Ashill
there was another child

My hope is that a marriage date can be found for John & Martha and, ideally something of their background eg  where from, when born, parents etc.
Any help with either surname would be appreciated

John
