Cpl Archibald Smith

[paul1947]

I am trying to find some info re Cpl Archibald Smith who was serving with the Royal Engineers at the time of the 1911 Census.

Unfortunately I do not have his corps / Regiment number but he was based at Brompton , chatham in 1911 and his trade was - Engine Fitter.

Any help greatly appreciated

Hi Paul,

From around 15 MICs in this name, I can only find this man who has "II Cpl" on his card:-

Name: Archibald T Smith

Regiment or Corps: Royal Engineers, Royal Engineers

Regimental Number: 3228, 412380

No doubt an expert will give an opinion on the possibility of the numbers being correct.

If it is him, a few discharge papers have survived:-

Name: Archibald Tennock Smith

Document Year: 1919

Regimental Number: 412380

Regiment Name: Royal Engrs

Hi Louise,

I do not have a great deal to go on here. I have a marriage cert for Archibald Smith and my Gt Aunt Rosella Cross. They married 4 Dec 1917 in Folkestone , Kent.

In rank / profession it states Soldier G.F.A so I am really starting right at the beginning with Archibald apart from the 1911 census return which also shows him in Kent.

Anyway - thanks for your help.

Regards

Paul
