Hi,

I am looking for any information on the family of Eliza Coffey (born 1823), she married an Edward Perry, and they lived around the Liscannor area.

Thank you!

If it is just one Elizabeth Drayton with one baby, why baptise the child with two different but similar names, 6 months apart and in two different, yet fairly close, places?

This is a good question and one that I have a possible theory:
Elizabeth herself had a sister called Diana. Did she want to name her illegitimate daughter that but was forced/pressured to name her otherwise, then later down the line went to a different church and baptised her with the planned name?

From the parish register images, available on FindMyPast:

North Kelsey - Elizabeth is of NK - Servant girl

Cadney - Elizabeth is of C - female servant

The distance is 4 miles via road and around half that should you walk as the crow flies. It seems too much of a coincidence that they are both servants with the same name and they have illegitimate daughters with very similar names

Thank you all! There are two then, he didn’t have a brother named Leslie. That clears up the question of why he was in Skeg-Vegas - he wasn’t! Thanks again

World War Two / Grenadier Guards in WWII - finding correct battalion
« on: Sunday 15 September 19 11:38 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I’m trying to find which battalion a Kenneth A. Gadsby was in.

This is what I know (from his stories, he died in 1995 - no one to ask now): he was at Chelsea, he fought at Normandy, Italy, and North Africa. He was a driver. I have his army number. He joined the GG in 1936 at Nottingham and left in 1946. Strangely, at least to me, he is in Skegness in 1939 as a Lorry Driver with his cousin (also a Lorry Driver) - perhaps extra work whilst on home leave? - I have no knowledge on this subject.

Thank you!
