Wow you guys are fantastic.  ;D

I don't know if the siblings are correct but the mum's maiden name was definitely Jones and the birth certificate for Robert Leonard is correct - I received a copy of this from BDM.

I can't access Rosie's 2 last links though but I do have the death certificates for both Robert and Florence.

If that is true about Alexander sending his family to Cape C. this would be interesting.

Thanks again  ;)

Armed Forces / Service Records? British Military / BSAP

Hi,
I am trying to find information on my g. g. grandparents and g. grandparents but really struggling to get service information - a service number would be great.

g. g. grandparents

Name 1: Alexander Ferguson - Quartermaster of the Ordnance Store in Aldershot in 1884 (confirmed by Robert's birth certificate), may have been a temporary captain after this.
Name 2: Emma Ferguson (nee Jones)
[not sure how many children they had, at least one - Robert]

g. grandparents

Name 3: Robert Leonard Ferguson (s/o Alexander and Emma) - born 1884 in Aldershot registered in Farnham, travelled to South Africa with the Royal Navy. Died in Western Cape in 1946.
Name 4: Florence Aniel(?) Ferguson (nee Milkins or Wilkins) - born in 1888 and died in Western Cape in 1940
[at least 3 children, possibly 4 - Florence, Robert and Alfred]

I've tried DNA test and I have a bunch of 4th cousins I can't find how they fit in with my heritage.

Sorry Robert's middle name was Leonard - his son's was Alfred Sidney.
