territorial force info

[koski1]

hello......I need some help with the territorial force.
My grandmothers birth cert has two territorial force association stamps on the back.  They are not very clear as the stamps are on top of each other, both are for the county of essex. One says'received may 1916' and the other 'received sep 1918'. He was living in the dovercourt area at the time.
g.grandfathers name was George A.B. WOOLLARD. initials stand for albert burch, as he was originally registered burch but married in name of woollard ( long story).

sorry to confuse anyone... I did put this question on the general board and was advised to put it onto this one.....my question was that I needed help with territorial records, as in what regiments do I look at, and why would the stamps be on a birth cert.  I now know why the stamps are there...and am hoping for help with the rest.....sorry again

We all have to start somewhere!!

No need to apologise!!

Right then, try the Essex Regt Museum...and the Essex Regt Assoc. There may be an entry in the phone book for the Essex RFTA under "Army". They may have some records.

This presumes of course you have been through the Anpestry files and the Veterans disclosure in Glasgow if required...

Many thanks for the info scrimnet....it points me in the right direction!!!!

I have had a look through the ancestry files...but was finding it difficult without a regiment name. I haven't yet been through the veterans disclosure files, actually I didn't know there was any. So...now i have several directions to go and hopefully.......someone at the end of it...

thanks again.
