Armed Forces / Re: Unable to find mother's name - 14th Regiment foot, birth in Canada

So the birth cert was delivered. The mother is just listed as Elizabeth. No surname.

He was stationed in Canada at the time of his sons birth. I'm surprised that he has a wife with him in Canada.

Do you think she travelled from the UK with the regiment or if he married her there? I can't find a military record of a marriage.

I meant to say they were originally from south Leeds.  Ian worked at the Waddington printers for years.

Don't know if I can be of any help but I knew a couple of Dodsons who lived in Yeadon and Guiseley.  Ian and his brother Neil.  Neil is a well known window cleaner in that part of Leeds.  Ian, who was my nieghbour, told me years ago that his dad's family were originally imigrant Jews from eastern Europe and changed their name from a slavik name to Dodson.  They may or may not be related.

I've subscribed to FindMyPast and found an entry which I think is him
Miller, James, Canada, 1841, Regt 14th vol 6 pg 20

Any idea if I can find vol 6 page 20?

Armed Forces / Unable to find mother's name - 14th Regiment foot, birth in Canada
« on: Monday 03 December 18 22:22 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
  I have the father, William Miller (1811, Clontibret, Monaghan) who served in the 14th Regiment  (#615) of Foot in the West Indies and Canada.  His son was born in Kingston Ontario in 1841 whilst the father is serving there.  The son, James Miller also served in the 14th Regiment of Foot (#843) from 5/11/1858 to 1881.
  William retired back in Monaghn and James in Yorkshire.  I have been unable to find a marriage record for William or birth record for James so I cannot find the mother.  James's eldest daugher was called Mary, 2nd Catherine and another Teresa 'Mary'.  James's 1st son was James 'William' and the next John 'Henry'.   Just wondering if his mother was 'Mary' and her parents maybe Henry and Mary or Catherine.
  Anyway, any help finding the marriage for William or birth of James would be really appreciated.
thanks
Paul

Hi Leo
 My only other bit of info on James is a marriage (1948) to Agnes Dowling who died in 1953

James M'Gechie of 16 Dronley  also had a brief mention in the Dundee Evening Telegraph in September 1940. Unfortunately, he was involved, with other chaps, in a 'breach of the peace' at the local dance hall.
