Hi
Here is a photo of my father-in-law with his younger brother and elder sister.
Can anyone please help. I am hopeful that one of you clever people may be able to correct the creased damage that has been done.

Armed Forces / Military/N Staff Regiment
« on: Thursday 10 April 08 04:04 BST (UK)  »
I have been trying to find out about my Grandfather who served at some time in the Boar Wars. He was apparently a cavalry officer, thought to be in the North Stafforshire regiment. There seems to be a lot of info available for WWI & WWII on National Archives site, but only available for personal visitors for Boar War, which is very hard if you live overseas.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Glamorganshire / Identify Royal Hotel. Cardiff
« on: Thursday 10 April 08 03:51 BST (UK)  »
I have traced my Grandfathers brother to the Manager of the Royal Hotel in Cardiff for the 1901 census, located at 85-88 St Mary Street, Cardiff.

In the street directory for 1893 address in still 85-88 St Mary Street, with intersection of Wood Street. Todays Royal Hotel gives address is given as;
10 St Mary Street.

Can anyone tell me if this is the same Hotel, or has it been rebuilt?
Being pointed in the right direction of any photos of the hotel dated 1900's would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Anyone experiencing any problems with the GRO website. I have been unable to acces it for days now.
Unsure if there is any overload, due to any recent TV programming. I am in Australia and unsure what current trends are!!
