World War Two / Re: Please help with this record
« on: Saturday 26 October 19 20:42 BST (UK) »
Thank you for this information.
There is no other information on the document. I am aware of his nationalisation in 1974 because my friend helped her father get it.
I will pass this info to her.
What sort of information is likely to be on his military service record? What we are really trying to ascertain is where he was born and possibly how he came to be in the UK. He never spoke of this to his family. Possibly too difficult. All we know is that his father was Josef - this came from his marriage certificate.

Thank you. I have just read the link that you posted.
The number in black must have been his original number and the red on was issued when he was 'resettled'?
Do you think there is a possibility then that he had been a POW?
Beneath this clip it also shows in red a change of surname. Do you think this was normal?

My friend has just given me a copy of her father's army service document.
I do not understand it at all.
Any help with why his record was changed - or indeed any other information would be grateful.
I absolutely have no clue.

Kent / Re: Frederick Culliford Marriage?
« on: Tuesday 21 November 17 20:35 GMT (UK) »
Just found this:
Frederick William Culliford
England, Devon, Parish Registers
Name Frederick William Culliford
Event Type Marriage
Event Date 1853
Event Place Devon
Age 26
Birth Year (Estimated) 1827
Spouse's Name Mary Ann Nile
Seems that Frederick William was born in 1827, so the Frederick in The Black Horse must be mine.....and still might be the one who "married" Fanny in 1840, as Frederick William would only have been 11 years old.
Heck!!!

If I remember without looking back Fred at the Black horse was a Royal Marine Corporal. Presuming his son was Married a few years later that would have given him time to have been promoted to Sergeant
I think Frederick must have ended his days as a recruiting sergeant, as the marrage I referred to actally happened in 1888, after Frederick's death in 1875.

The Fanny "marriage" could well have been a fiddle to claim extra pay, she may not have existed in real life and was an alias name of his mother.
That is an interesting thought. I suppose I shouldn't be so naive and take things with a large pinch of salt more often. I think I am going to ignore Fanny as I can find no more evidence to support her being married to my Frederick.

That is brilliant.
The confusion lies that my Frederick Culliford also was a seaman. I believe the Frederick found at The Black Horse in Worcester in 1851 is my Frederick as he was born in 1814 - the correct year. On his son Walter's marriage entry, Frederick was described as the recruiting sergeant for the Royal Marines.
He was also a Greenwich pensioner.
So do you think it was my Frederick that married Fanny, because if he did - it throws the cat among the pigeons. And - what happened to her? Where is the evidence of the marriage?
