I have moved this thread from "Finding your feet" in the "Navigating Brit Gen forum" to our "Europe Genealogy" area. The Navigating Forum is mostly intended as a handbook for Brit Gen, and the move...

Remember that the Banns did not always show the birth parish. If someone went to work in another parish, for example, they should be registered with the local church.

In the 19th Century, the families didn’t necessarily travel with the regiments. Some wives were employed by the troops (laundry, etc), and were but many stayed behind. The army would split pay, and...

If you're having trouble with Scolands People, there's a thread describing it HERE https://www.british-genealogy.com/forum/threads/79790-Scotlands-People. The various "replies" are all updates.

The pre-registration entries in Family Search depend on the entries being in a Church Register. Not only have many volumes not survived, but when they have, it was up to the Minister to choose how...

He's not in the CWGC database, so I assume that he survived the War? The extra info can help people stand out from the crowd. Is that him with a death certificate on 1975?. B abt 1919?

PS Welcome...

Thanks, Chris.
One small comment..
If you still have trouble uploading, check your file size. The system can get indigestion with very large files. If you want to show detail, perhaps details of...

Pity. I was hoping that we’d have a clue as to where he was, but the RA seems to have been in little groups all over the place.

Is there a date on the postcard?
The only abbreviation for HQ BLA is Head Quarters British Liberation Army (mind you, these things often changed - eg another item on the same list gives BL as either...

I can't find the page referred to in #1 (but there's quite a few other refs to it).
TNA has one specifically referring to the WW1 medal cards HERE.

Obviously other sites have noticed the need! ...

My great Uncle had the name of his father’s boss as his middle name. I’ve recently found out that the guy was also his godfather.

About the Suffolk death, who registered the death? If none of his family were around, and it was hospital staff, they might not have known his background.
In your place, I’d try and check Dunstan....

Have you looked for a death certificate?

About the 2 locations. These will be the records of banns, showing that the bride and groom were attached to different parishes. Have you seen the actual records (or scans), or were they...

The system can sometimes be temperamental if the file is large. if you have difficulty uploading, it's often a good idea to crop the photo to show details on the uniform, badges, etc.

Does the wedding cert give any clues about his regiment?

Kevin, welcome to the British Genealogy Forum.
Have a wander around the Forum and see what's where. You'll find that many of our sub-forums have "sticky" posts at the top, these contain general...

Agreed. One of my multi-greats died in the Dundee Poorhouse in 1861. He was a shoemaker living at home until his wife died, within days of her funeral in 1859 he'd been shipped to the Poorhouse in...

Unfortunately, Pail is no longer a member (he’s tagged Guest) so he won’t see your message.
In Scotland, BMDs only began in 1855 (the the messages at the top of our Scottish forum),...

It’s not really help to your search, but this is a very good example of how some surnames could mutate to more familiar spellings!

Welcome to BG. Have a look round, see what is where, and tell us something of your research.
