Please could someone have a go at Mary, she seems to have become a bit wrinkled over the years.  Not surprising as the photo was taken some 80 odd years ago  :(

Not worried about the background or colouring, just a tidy for this lovely lady..

I don't have access to my SMI disc just now and was wondering if you're not too busy with mince pies and wrapping paper could someone please have a look for the marriage of a James Pacy (Pasy) to a Mary Ann.  1851 has them both born Wisborough Green, later living in Rudgewick.

Many thanks

World War One / William Knapp WW1 Military Record help please
« on: Monday 17 November 14 19:50 GMT (UK)  »

William Knapp 3rd Batt Essex Regt.  Regt No 57807 aged 44.  Joined July 1918 discharged December 1918.

I have attached a page from his records, could someone please decipher for me.  I'm assuming that as he was in for such a short time he never made it overseas...and did he join voluntarily or would he have been called up?

Many thanks
Suey
