The Common Room / COMPLETE: 1921 Census Records of Family of Serving Soldier in India
« on: Thursday 28 April 22 13:51 BST (UK)  »
I have located my grandfather serving with the 5th Royal Irish Lancers in India based in Risalpur.
He was accompanied by his wife and two children.

However, the 1921 Census only records the serving soldiers, the first Census to record military personnel abroad.

Does anyone know if the families are recorded on another document?

All help is appreciated.

Can anyone help and translate the address in the 1921 Census?

I believe the address is 6 Commercial Street in Norton.
However, not sure of the text after the number "6" but presume it could be the name of the property?

Armed Forces / 1921 Census: Army in India
« on: Tuesday 11 January 22 10:55 GMT (UK)  »
I have been trying to trace my grandfather who was based in India in 1921.
I have a photograph of him and his fellow Sergeants and Warrant Officers of the 5th Royal Irish Lancers in Risalpur, North-West Frontier, India

Percy Willy Freeman
Born 1884 in Dublin, Ireland and died in 1965 in the UK.
Squadron Sergeant Major
5th Royal Irish Lancers

He was accompanied by:
Elizabeth Mary Ellen Freeman, wife and school teacher with the Regiment.
Vivienne Mary Freeman, Daughter.
Alexander Charles Desmond Freeman, son.

I have tried "Findmypast" which has sole access to the 1921 Census of the military abroad but have been unable to locate them.
Risalpur is in the Records under Piece 28120.

Has anyone had any success in tracing a military relative abroad in the 1921 Census?

All help is appreciated.
