[viking-man]

Hi Carol
I've never been on findmypast and not sure where to type what.  Any chance you could attach a copy of the census on here or email me then I can have a look

I have tried to attach a file here but it is to large for the site. I am not sure how to make it smaller as it is a lizardtech file.
I will see if I can do it another way.

Hi

I have just come across this thread, I have Lizzie Broyd born Gt Warley Essex abt  1881 married to an unknown Lindsell they had a daughter Rosie Lindsell with whom my Mum was evacuated to during the war as Lizzie was her grandmothers sister.
I have been trying to make a connection but Mum is no longer with me to ask.
I remember staying with Rosie and her husband Reg Carslake near Honiton in Devon as a child and would like to straighten that part of my tree out!
Can you help?

Hi Carol
Can you email me the file to v(*_

Hi Crystal
The Essex record office conduct searches for a hourly fee, might be worth investing in a few hours in case they may be able to shed some light on Mr Lindsell. Just an idea.
I've looked on Ancestry for a marriage between an Eliz. Broyd & Mr Lindsell but nothing showed up that was obvious.  mmm this is one to get the teeth stuck into!!

Crystal - the Rosie Lindsell who married Mr Carslake in 1/4 1942 in Honiton district Devon - was recorded as Rosamund E (he was Reginald P)

Likely birth was registered as Rosamond Elizabeth in the Colchester district in 3/4 1906

Her parents married in 4/4 1904 in Romford district - he was William Lindsell - she was Hannah Elizabeth Broyd

I'll PM you some additional info

Cheers
Sue

For the sake of continuity in this thread - the unknown Lindsell Crystal was looking for appears to have been William  - birth registered in Chelmsford district 2/4 1874

Census info gives his place of birth as Woodham Ferris

He was the son of Joseph - born East Hanningfield - 1843 (from census)

Cheers

A bit more digging shows that Crystal's William Lindsell was a career soldier - joining the Royal Field Artillery in 1891 at Warley as a Driver - giving an age of 18 years 6 months (but a birthplace of Ingatestone!) He says he had previously served with the 4th Bn Essex Regiment (that I believe was a Militia force at that time)

He served in South Africa  - earning both the Queens South Africa Medal (with 3 clasps - Transvaal, Cape Colony and Orange Free State) and the Kings South Africa Medal with both clasps (1901 and 1902)

He was awarded the King George V Coronation Medal in 1911, there was a Long Service Good Conduct award with gratuity in 1910 - and as he first saw service in France on 17th August 1914 - he was also awarded the 1914 Star in addition to the Victory and British War Medals

He was in France until 14/4/1916 and finally discharged (medically unfit) 14/3/1919 - with over 28 years service

He was married at Warley Church (his wife was recorded as Elizabeth Bride) on ?? Dec 1904 (page is very hard to read) and Rosa Elizabeth appears as their only child listed

On the Army record she is shown as being born at Warley (which was in the Romford district) but as she seems to have been registered in Colchester - maybe there was a transfer from one barracks to another between birth and registration???

Hope this is of some interest

Cheers

My thanks go to Sue for putting me on the right track and for her time and effort 

It would seem William Lindsell had a good soldiers record - I will be following that up although Sue seems to have all the details here!
