Mark1959 Posted 2 September , 2022 Share Posted 2 September , 2022 (edited) Had a real good look for Edwards and getting nowhere. The Pension card show his disability on beng discharged was Nephritis and he died of it 6 years later. Not sure what else really needs to be said. It is clear his service papers no longer exist.

museumtom Posted 2 September , 2022 Author Share Posted 2 September , 2022 Thank you Mark and George. I did argue the toss saying that his nephritis was contracted during service and he died from the same but Terry says the gap is too long between discharge and death and it does not show he was discharged with nephritis, etc. He says perhaps things will change and to re-send in another 6 months.

museumtom Posted 14 September , 2022 Author Share Posted 14 September , 2022 Good morning guys and gals. A real poser for ye this dark morning. We are trying our best to tie these cards together (no records yet) and it is difficult to send him forward to I.F.C.P. It looks like the missing link is evading us, can you help please? Well done to George for locating these in the first place, it cannot have been easy I reckon. Mods I am putting these cards up for a short time and will delete them in 24 hours if that is ok.

museumtom Posted 23 September , 2022 Author Share Posted 23 September , 2022 This could be Fred, married 3 years like his wife in the 1911 Census. Matches his pre war records. https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=GBC%2F1911%2FRG14%2F24882%2F0447&parentid=GBC%2F1911%2FRG14%2F24882%2F0447%2F3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC78 Posted 23 September , 2022 Share Posted 23 September , 2022 You may have already seen it Tom, but there's a second pre-war record on FMP for the same man.

PaulC78 Posted 23 September , 2022 Share Posted 23 September , 2022 Ancestry have some prison records for him around 1914, it seems he was charged with neglecting his child. I can't find his death though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at this man with Terry a couple of years ago, the feeling was that he re-enlisted with the Northumberland Fusiliers for a brief period, but the lack of connecting evidence stopped him from going forward.

museumtom Posted 27 September , 2022 Author Share Posted 27 September , 2022 Good morning all. I was asked by a friend to see if anything other than a M.I.C. existed for her Grandfather. He was born in Summerhill Parade, Dublin City in 1884. Can you find any records other than his M.I.C. please? Andrew Millar, Private, Army Service Corps, 140096, also served with the Royal Irish Rifles under service number D/120407, and the King's Royal Rifle Corps under service number 53981. Kind regards.
