Armed Forces / Royal Sussex Regiment, India 1900s
« on: Monday 17 August 09 10:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi there

I'm trying to find out information about my g grandfather, Arthur James Robinson. He served in India in the early 1900s. I know he married a Dora Ann Donnelly in Jubbulpore in Feb 1909 and they had two children, Clara Jane (b1909) and George Arthur (b1912).

On the marriage certificate, Arthur is listed as a widower - I wasn't aware he had married before Dora.

In Feb 1909 he is a Sergeant in the Royal Sussex Regiment.

W Kent is listed as a witness.


He went on to win the Albert Medal.

Any information on Arthur, the chiildren and especially his first wife greatly received.

Thanks in advance

Hi

I was wondering if anyone could help. I'm trying to trace information on Mary Rourke. Here's what I know:

c1856 - Mary Rourke born in Co Wicklow
? - married James Donnelly (b1854)
James Donnelly joined the Royal Artillery - we think, the Horse Artillery
c1878 - we think had a daughter, Mary
1881 - on Census in Woolwich, London
1885 -  had a daughter, Dora Ann, in St Thomas, Exeter, Devon - James listed as Gunner

Then we don't know anymore except that Dora Ann married my g grandfather Arthur James Robinson in Jubbulpore, India in 1909. James is listed as an Army Pensioner and a J Donnelly was a witness at the wedding.

Any help gratefully received..

Thanks

Hi everyone

I'm trying to find any information on my family. Here's what I know

My ggg grandfather was James Donnelly - in Royal Artillery (possibly RHA).
Born Co Kildare, Ireland
? married a Mary Rourke
1878 - stationed in Dublin where daughter Mary born
1881 - on Census at Woolwich, London
1885 - daughter Dora Ann born in St Thomas, Exeter, Devon

Then we have nothing for them EXCEPT

Dora Ann married Arthur James Robinson in Feb 1909 in Jubbulpore, India - father listed as Army Pensioner and possibly a witness at the wedding.

Any help on James Donnelly or family greatly received. Not sure how to find anything out without knowing James' regiment etc.

Thanks

Kathryn
