Thanks for your responses - plenty for me to follow up on.

Occupation Interests / Guild of St Luke

I believe the Guild was a Church of England foundation or charity that sponsored students through medical school if they agreed also to train and work as medical missionaries. My grandfather was sponsored by the Guild in 1903 and later worked as a medical missionary in the Solomon Islands but I can find no actual records on the Guild - references to it in the articles of a Catholic equivalent and another person looking for information (in 1947!) but the Guild itself does not seem to appear anywhere. Can anyone help?

I am late coming to this but am descended from the Knight family so would like to get hold of a copy of the privately published book The Knights of Barrells by Carden & Higgon. Can anyone (Arthur of Horsham perhaps) help?

Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey, Sark / Re: Fort Albert Barracks, Alderney

My Great Uncle was also listed as being at the Fort on the 1901 census, as a Lieutenant in the Suffolk Regiment. He cannot have been there long as he qualified for the South Africa Medal & Clasp for serving in the South African war of 1899-1902, on attachment to the 3rd Batt. York & Lancaster Regiment. (He died on 30 March 1915 on the Western Front.)
The census list is not very enlightening as the Fort seemed to hold few soldiers but a lot of skilled (and unskilled) labourers. It seems it was a Napoleonic Fort so perhaps in 1901 it was being rebuilt.
