Yes thank you Rosie this is the one; I found the transcript of the marriage and he was recorded as a soldier in the Royal Palaces; his younger  brother Donald (my GGrandfather) was said to be in the Scots Guards which we have a photo of and probably followed his brother into the regiment, it makes sense as the old Guards depot was at Caterham in Surrey at this time. George was on the 1911 census and all the sons share a name with his father Peter, Grandfather Alexander and great Grandfather Kenneth who came from Isle of Lewis. George's daughter Christina appears to be named after George's younger sister who died at just five years old around 1885. Georges other brother moved to Canada and his grandson settled in Vancouver.

My grandmother was a Mary Edwards May born 1920 Fraserburgh whose mother was Jeannie May (born Duthie / married Gorman)  born 1879 Fraserburgh. Father unknown but adopted by Alexander Edwards (Lossiemouth) and Mary Macdonald (Shawbost, Lewis). Charles Edwards was Alex's brother. I would like to know if there is a family connection to the Stotfield Edwards.

I thought it was sooner possibly May - Sept 1900-01 and involved a mckenzie; Press and Journal entry made reference to it and I may find it in archive copies

I am trying to find information on a death of a soldier at Fort George by the name of Mckenzie with a Mackay and a possibly Mckinnon; both were admonished after a fight ensued and two acted in self defence against Mckenzie; they were in transit during the Boer War
