Hi,

I have just checked the link and it doesn't appear to be available anymore.

I have found some information on Wikipedia.
The corps cap badge, which is also worn on the front of its vests, t-shirts and tracksuits, consists of crossed swords surmounted by a crown.

Thank you all for your thoughts. I wondered if it was a photo of men taking part in somekind of sport. Which regiment do you think they would belong too? I am trying to track which regiment my grandfather joined.

I believe this photo shows my Grandfather, William Charles Marsh, born  21 AUGUST 1887,Pimlico, London, died 21 MAR 1949, 52 Charterhouse Avenue Wembley

The back of the postcard gives the printer as being Charles S Harris 77 London Road, Dover.

I would be grateful for anything anyone can tell me about this photo.

I have loaded my DNA to the usual sites. What annoys me is the number of people who don't reply when you message them. I sometimes wonder why they have bothered to have been DNA tested if they are not interested in finding out more about their DNA connections.

I am trying to find a baptism record for a Charles DOUGLAS(S) born 1805 St. Luke's. Another researcher has recently contacted the LMA with regard to baptism records for St. Luke, Old Street. The reply she received is as follows;

We can confirm that we hold the records of St Luke, Old Street at the London Metropolitan Archives which includes baptism records.

These are available to view on microfilm X027/002 (1800-1810) and an overlap on X027/003 (1808-1812). I have checked www.ancestry.co.uk which holds digitised copies of our parish records and it would appear that there is a gap online for this period in the records of St Luke.
At the current time, if you are able to, you would need to visit our offices to view the microfilm copies.



Unfortunately she lives in Australia and I live in West Yorkshire.

Is there anyone who could kindly look at the above records at the LMA for a Charles DOUGLAS(s) born about 1805?

Charles Douglas(s) is my 3rd Great Grandfather.

Thank you.

Thank you.

No, Frederick wasn't there on the 1901 census. He is at 17 Sidmouth Street, Reading, Berks. His occupation is described as a lithographic Printer, probably working for Huntley and Palmer, the biscuit manufactures. In 1908, he was still living at 17 Sidmouth Street, Reading, information from the death certificate for his wife Eliza Chinnery Douglass nee Wells.

You did , though give me the idea of looking up the address on the 1901 census. I found the occupant was an Edwin Hutchings and his occupation: newsagent, own account.

There were no results for the address for 1891. On the 1939 census it is still a Newsagent And Tobacconist, although not run by any of my family.

1918 Frederick Douglass was living at 75 Tranmere Road, Wandsworth

Frederick Douglass died 22/05/1919 • St. James Infirmary, Ouseley Road, Battersea, London.

Trying to find more information about a confectionary tobacco news shop that my 2x grandfather, Frederick Douglass run in 1911 from his house 69 Selkirk Road, Tooting. On the 1911 census his occupation is shown as CONFECTIONERY TOBACCO NEWS and C  His two daughters Eliza and Emma were shop assistants. Would like to know when Frederick started or took over the business. I assume the house was rented?
