Family History Beginners Board / Help finding more info
« on: Tuesday 17 November 09 00:16 GMT (UK) »
First off, hello everyone. This is my first post here. I hope some of you knowledgable people can point me in the right direction.
I'm trying to find out more information about my Great Grandad David Daniel Stubbs. According to family info passed down to me, he was born at sea in 1901 on the way to India. His father, Thomas, was in the Army in the 8th (or 80th) Staffordshire Regiment. I have some scans of a few pages from an army book belonging to Thomas and within those pages there is confirmation that David was born at sea, the entry is dated 9/5/1901. There is also Thomas's army number if needed.
I don't have access to Ancestry, but have a The Genealogist subscription. Nothing comes up for him in any database on there. Where should I look? What help and advice can you guys and gals give me?
If you need to know any further information let me know.
Cheers everyone
Roy
