    I will try to redeem myself. Here is Violet's baptism.

    I couldn't see one for Arthur.

    Redemption through baptismal - catchy.

    And thank you! That's exciting - it confirms her second name is Stuart, which seemed unusual in a girl - and gives her birthdate.

    I still can't find the elusive A S Orme's birth either - I have birth records of two of his three sisters (Violet and Muriel Jean) but I'm also missing one of them (Florence Enid). I've even looked in Canada and Scotland (virtually that is) to no avail.

    Thanks for joining in!

    Where did you find that and what register is the reference for?

    Agh, got it... I'll definitely have to investigate this one - thank you very much.

    2nd Battalion East Lancs served in Ireland 1919 - 1923.. In Cork

    So that could well be another part of the puzzle falling into place :-)

    In the case of my grandmother, she had a young baby and was possibly pregnant and I worry for her.
    East Lancashire Regiment - 2nd Battalion
    1.10 1914 - sailed from Capetown
    30.10.1914 - landed at Southampton and to Hursley Park in 24th Bde. 8th Divn.
    6.11.1914 - landed at Le Havre
    (British Regiments 1914-1918, Brigadier E A James)

    Manchester Courier & Lancashire General Advertiser, 9 Nov 1914

    "EAST LANCASHIRE REGIMENT
    Several of the East Lancashire Regiment who have just returned from South Africa for the front tell an alarming story. Their troopship struck a rock and became waterlogged. The Red Cross nurses were removed to another vessel, but the soldiers' wives and families remained on board. The damage was sufficiently repaired to enable them to proceed home, though most of the men were emersed in water. The journey was competed without lights and hostile craft were sighted. Eleven children died en route and were buried at sea."

    A memorable journey!
