That is amazing Allan, thank you for that and please thank your friend for his help too. It is quiet amazing as my wife's family all come from Seaford they have been there for generations and I don't live to far away from there now I know they have a museum there so must pop in to see if they had any photos or data.

Once again
Many Thanks Allan

Hi Allan,
That was my thought as well. I don't know if it was normal practice to include wartime service in the police service. It seemed strange that he did exactly 25 years with the police if you include the war time service. There was never a mention from my father that his father served overseas but so many people did not want to talk about it.
Best Regards

Kent / Tracing Kent ancestors back beyond 1595
« on: Wednesday 01 September 21 07:55 BST (UK)  »
I pickup the family tree bug of wanting to go back as far as I can. However, seem to hit a brick wall with the Death of my 10th Great Granfather death in 1595 in Monkton Kent. I guess this is when they started keeping records. Is there anyway of tracing further back ?  Would any records be church based and in latin? Any tips greatly appreciated.

Best Regards
Richard

Hi Craig,
That's him OK! He joined the Police in February 1909, then joined HM forces  April 1915. He Married Maud  in 1918 and returned to the Police force 5th February 1919. His Police service card was continued so I assume his years service as a Police officer continued and retired in 1934 which made it 25 years which is normal in Police force. He then became Security Manager at George Wimpy.
Thanks for the information Craig.
Best Regards
Richard

Perfect! Many Thanks again Allan. That might explain the rapid promotion on his return to the police force.

Thank you Allan thar is great news. I am on find my past and looked at the papers but limited it to Portsmouth. There are several articles about cases in court but had not seen the Kings Royal Rifles and Plymouth so Many thanks for your help. Other relatives I have checked had their service record damaged by fire so what you said makes sense.
Thanks again for your help Allan.
Best Regards

World War One / Ernest Edward Studham my Grandfathers WW1 service

I am having trouble finding any reference to my Grandfathers service record. He was a police officer at Portsmouth City during the outbreak of hostilities  and there is a break in his police record. There was some suggestion that he had joined the military police. However, I remember my father mentioning that he was in a Rifles brigade. I have tried searching but come up with Ernest Studham another relation who I believed was killed during the war. My Grandfather returned to the Portsmouth City Police after his service and was promoted to Sargent then about 4 months later to Inspector which was not unusual for that time due to shortages from losses and retirements.

I would appreciate any ideas on how I can discover his regiment and service record.
Thank you Richard

Australia / Re: Van Diemen's Land Records of Convict Elizabeth STUDHAM
« on: Saturday 28 August 21 15:24 BST (UK)  »
Hi All, it is nearly 10 years since any updates here on this issue of Elizabeth Studham. I am her 2nd Great Grand Nephew she is my 2nd Great Grand Aunt our common ancestor is George. I have managed to trace the family all the way back to Richard Studham who died in 1595, they mostly lived around Monkton, Canterbury in Kent. There seems to be a cluster of Studhams in Durham area but I have found no connection yet. It would be really nice to chat with anyone related to Elizabeth to pool information.

I found that lots of Elizabeths relations (brothers) moved to Australia. John and wife Sarah with his whole family 7 daughters . One brother moved to Tasmania, I wonder if that was to be close to his older sister?
