Rufforth & the Boer War
« on: Friday 14 March 08 15:36 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone know which registration district Rufforth comes under?

Does anyone know if there is an online record of soldiers who fought in the South African War?

Bee,

You may find this site useful

http://hometown.aol.co.uk/KevinAsplin/home.html

I had a quick look in the names index and found
Coates, George Ernest    26991, Sgt.    41st Coy., 4th Bn. I.Y.
and
Ripley, George William    45108, Trooper*    38th Bn. I.Y.

Could be your men. Worth having a look as the site has lots of other info on the Boer War. Found one of my elusive ancestors on this site  ;D
