I have an ancestor that according to his medal cards and army pension records he was in the Labour Corp but his cap badge looks like an Irish regiment as I can make out a harp. I'm a bit confused as his records says that he enlisted in 1915 and I know the Labour Corp didn't exist until 1917. So did regiments have their own labour corps sections?

He was a Lance Corporal.

Thanks so much Gadget for your help.

I'm not sure what to do now. I would have been convinced that she was buried at Bethel Methodist Chapel, Melin-Y-Coed as they lived next door in the chapel house (Ty Chapel Bethel) and the chapel was built in 1821, 23 years before she died.

Thank you Gadget.

Oh that's a surprise    as she was baptised and lived in Llanrwst. She was however married at Caerhun (to Hugh Jones) maybe I need to look there?

Thanks again.

Thanks Gan Yam
Anything is possible I suppose. I went through every William Mounsey in Cumberland/Westmorland but no one fitted the bill. He could of course have been deceased when his son married as they didn't always record that fact. I know there was a locally famous William Mounsey but he was a Royal Navy captain and just to refer to him as sailor doesn't seem right. Of course he could have been on board ship anywhere in the world. I also considered that even though I have a modern day hand written certificate from the registrar it could be misread as tailor (that's how desperate I am).

Thanks
