 Hi Ambly,
  Thank you very much  for the lookups and the websites

Hello Jenny

The death found by Ambly was for a Richard Suggett -  musician, widower of Mary Smith.   Parents:  Charles Suggett (Seaman, Merchant Service), and Mary Suggett (M.S. Slattery).

Regards,    Steve   

There are 8 Suggett deaths recorded during WW1 - none yours.

Just back off Scotlands People after looking at the only marriage in Scotland of a Richard Suggett from1870 to 1940.  The gentleman in question is the above - married in 1902.  At the time his profession is 'drill instructor' - which ties in with your 'colour sergeant'.

It's a poor quality entry, but seems to indicate that his name was Richard Whyte?  'known as' Richard Martin Suggett.

If you pm me - I'll forward the entries.

Hi Steve,
                    
   my Richard Suggett's parents were     William Suggett and Mary Ann Suggett (nee Higgins)
  not  that he was brought up by them    he was in the Hanwell District School in London
      from about the age of 2 yrs,  from there he joined the Army   & was in the Boer War

HelloJenny

If you modify your message above to remove your e-mail address.  FYI, the only Richard Suggett dying in Scotland between 1855 and 2006 is the one above.  A re-look at the marriage entry has his parents as ? Martin not White- which would tie in with his middle name. 

A look on the free bmd for England only brings up 2 - neither would fit in with your research.  Shall send you the marriage and death entries now.

Hello Peter,
                   Richard Suggett is my gr.gr. Uncle, he was born in London & brought up in Hanwell District school for the poor, (or perhaps it was called a workhouse)  from there he joined the Army at age 15 & went to Boer War,  he had a brother Abraham Suggett who also brought up in Hanwell &  joined the Army at age 15,    it seems that Richard had changed his name    put Martin in it, & put Charles down as his parents, in actual fact if this is my Richard his parents were  William Suggett & Mary Ann Higgins,   but on his Army record he put  next of kin   none, is it possible to get a copy of the photos off you please, my e-mail address  is    (*)
 what is your connection to him,,,,          have a good day
                                                Jenny
