Armed Forces / Walter BRUCE photo
« on: Thursday 14 September 17 23:37 BST (UK) »
Hi - Can anyone identify this uniform? Can you read the shoulder badge? Photo taken 1914-1922. Not also the fabric tape above his breast pocket which appears to have ink numbers on it as if it was a temporary badge.
This is Walter BRUCE who married Florence Edith HOWES in 1919 in Canterbury. Walter was from Easenhall, Warks.
Thank you for any assistance,
Tom

Hello -
I trying to find an address in Vicar's Close in Wells SOM - in particular#2. I was able to find #16 thru photos in Google Maps. No. 2 was the residence of my Great Great Grand-aunt, Elizabeth GRANT, housekeeper for Rev James Coleman at the 1901 Census.
I have attached a map of the Vicar's Close. Thank you for any help -

Hi IJD -
Thanks for this and taking the time to check the enumerator's route. Your information has made me aware of an gross error I made at the beginning of all this. It seems I had the wrong end of the stick from the beginning!
I should have looked at Clara Place as a multi-family dwelling not unlike an apartment. The numbers being unit numbers within Clara Place and having nothing to do with Follett Road. Just as you point out, Clara Place would have had one number on Follett Road or no number really was needed as the name Clare Place would have been sufficient on such a small road.
I went back to my file and I cannot find where I got the #15 from.
The census transcript just shows "Clara Place, Follett Road". I have found a #15 near the High Street (Tony Vernon Ltd) and the building was most likely there in 1911.
So the bottom line my Gillings (1c2r) lived at #9 Clara Place as you kindly found out for me - thank you.
Cheers

The Exeter Memories site is extensive and I am going to give it another go. Roy Parkhouse's site got me close but no prize! I found a photo just a few yards down the Follett Rd from the 1940s and I checked with Google streetview for fun and got this: - Cheers
