   I wonder if someone could help me once again. I am trying to find the marriage date of my other GGGrandparents. His name was John Powell
DOB 1801 Great Ousebun Upper Poppleton and was a Shoemaker to trade.
He married Ann Hill DOB 1807 born in Benningbrough Bishophill Junior.
I have trying for the  past week on Ancestry.co.uk with no luck.
I discovered on the 1861 Census he was referred to as John Bowell no wonder we get confused. It would be very much appreciated if someone could help me. Weed

Hi Dazey thank you for taking the time to answer my request. i must admit I did not think about army records as it was only hear say about the n/umberland regiment
I do know about his parents and grand parents and it would be nice to know what happened to him and his two sisters but that would be a long shot for sure  weed

Hi Cathy, many thanks for looking into Hugh McAuley. We have been confused with 2 different families. Through Army records we think we have found the correct Hugh. The record you have found was one of the ones we were confused about, and have come to the conclusion that Hugh was not in the forces but his son was. We think he was born 1898 in Coatbridge and joined up in September 1914, at Wallsend, 5th battalion N.F. 137509 was his regimental number. On his records it shows correspondance sent to 2 addresses in Newcastle - 15 John Street and 46 Elswick Street regarding his injuries - shot in the hand and knee. Fathers name Hugh and on one letter, mothers name Mrs. R. McAuley, which we think is Rose. We are thinking that Hugh (senior) may have died before 1919 as one of the letters was sent to his mother. Maybe we can find a death record? Will look into this. Once again, thankyou for your help, we appreciate you looking for us.
