What do the other three bits mean anyway? (Just so I know if I am actually asked later)

Cheers 
I wondered why there were three boxes for quarter, lol.

The Common Room / GRO is confusing me...
« on: Wednesday 09 July 08 14:15 BST (UK) »
I'm ordering some family certificates (at last!) and the GRO have sent me some forms to fill in. The thing is, to get reduced fee, I have to fill in the GRO refence section (to help them find it quicker). Some of the info I know, some of it confuses me as to what they want...
The section is:
Year, Quarter, District name/number, Volume, Page, Registration/Reg No, Entry Number, Date of Registration.
So, using Eliz/Theo's marriage, I would get:
Year: 1887
Quarter: 4
District name/no: Plympton St Mary, Plymouth, Devon, UK
Volume: 05 B
Page: 417
Registration/Reg no: ??
Entry number: How do I find that?
Date of registration: How does that differ from what they first asked?
And have I got it right so far?

Armed Forces / Re: Can someone please tell me about this uniform?

Yes, and as I said, that's my great aunt's domain. I'm not treading on her toes. I'm doing the JONES and URWIN/BRADY lines. Then we compare notes and form a fuller family tree.

That's the one. Violet died in infancy and May died in her sister's arms in her teens. My great-grandmother was Lilie, who married Walter Jones.
It's interesting you should say that, I don't know much about John F, he's not my area of research (my great aunt is that side of the family). I'm sure she'd be interested to know

Looks like you got it about right then

The man is John F RICHARDS, who I know served in Gallipoli in 1916 when his daughter married. I believe he was RMLI? I would like to know about the uniform, such as what colour it would have been.
Thanks.
