Hi All,

Can anyone help with an entry in the Newcastle Courant of 15 March 1890. I believe there is a Cruddace entry, to be Corporals. I would like to know his first name or initial and the context of the article.

If the Shields Daily Gazette is included in the database, I would also like to know the circumstances for the entry of Maud Cruddace in their 9 Dec 1904 edition.

Many thanks,
Colin

Thanks very much.

I was hoping that the DLI entry might be my Grandad Benjamin but I hadn't realised he would have been only 12 at the time. However, his Dad John was with the Durham Volunteer Rifles and moved around a lot, so I'm thinking that he might be enrolled in more than one unit.

Later on, I think

My apologies Boo. It was very late and I did not give much effort in offering my thanks for your superb finds and your reply.

I was thinking more about the consequences of what you had found but I should have let you know how much I appreciated your efforts.

Kind regards,
Colin
