Private Laban Looker. 

I am tracing one of my relatives, Laban Looker, and believe that he died in Preston in 1874.  The death notice reads "On the 15th March 1874, at the barracks, Fulwood, Private Laban Looker age 34."

Does anyone know what regiment this would have been, or a way of finding out this information?  I am trying to find the cause of death. 

Thank you

Can anyone restore this semi-derelict Chapel in Bilston back to something approaching its former glory? Obviously you'll have to use your imagination!
If possible remove background building and van and also wire guards over the windows.

I have in my possession a document entitled " Settlement on the Marriage of Miss Caroline Ward and Captain Henry Kent". The document is dated 15 October 1855. Henry Kent was a Captain in the 77th Regiment of Foot, later to become the Middlesex Regiment. He went on to become Lieutenant-General of the Regiment before passing, at the age of 95, in February 1921.

I have offered the document to the Regiment but, due to restrictions on space, it was declined. I would love to be able to pass it on to a family member, either Ward or Kent, provided some proof of lineage can be produced.

If all else fails, I will pass the document on to Wolverhampton archives.

Anyone fancy a go at this one? It was taken around 1964 on board a
three-master which was docked in Cornwall between film shoots. I think it was the Hispaniola but could be wrong about that!

This is me a young boy! (No Aaaahs please! Jim please take note!! )
A little colour would be nice. I think the jumper was red, or that may have been that thing I'm holding, whatever it was - but I could just be having a "senior moment"! Feel free to play!!
