Armed Forces / Gibraltar, families accompanying a service man
« on: Friday 02 April 21 15:55 BST (UK) »
my Great Great Aunt Emma died about 6 weeks after childbirth in Gibraltar in 1891, her husband Richard was a serving soldier. They had 3 other children. Violet williams was Was born 18th March 1891 and Emma died 30 April 1891.
I know the 1911 census covered service men abroad. Did the 1891 census cover service men and their families abroad?

My friend W said her mother told her that he was either her grandfather or G grandfather and changed his name to Bennett, so it would be 19th century. But I can follow her family back to late 1800's. Her mothers father was Fredrick James Bennett B:3 Aug 1867 Sandrige, Hertfordshire.
I am about to check out other grandparents in case I am dealing with "chinese whispers", and really i was asking if anyone had come across this name as I am finding it difficult to find much.

Hertfordshire / Rudolphensen/ Rudolphsen

Rudolphensen/ Rudolphsen or similar
I am trying to research this name for on older friend who tells me her mother told her there was a connection to this name, we believe to the Bennett part of the family who seem to be based in Hertfordshire. Possibly farmer from Germany who changed his name.
Anyone have any bright ideas??

Thanks MaxD, I did think of that. Their relationship was complicated, my Aunt died a few years ago. Her first husband took his own life and my aunt remarried.
The few facts I know are they lived in Cyprus and Ghana (the Gold Coast as it was called then). They married in 1950 and I knew little of him and was not encouraged to ask!!

Can anyone offer any advice ref researching Royal Marines in 1950's?
My Aunts first husband was in the RM, may have been in the RM band.
I know they were in Ghana and Cyprus.
