Would like some info on Pvt soldier samuel Glass,

in 1881 he is on the census as living at fulwood barrocks, near preston, and for his occupation it says ; pvt soldier, 108th regiment.

where would i find out info on him just knowing the above infomation?

Are you looking for a WW1 Pvt Alison?

(If so, the 9 Samuel Glasses' MIC's are here: http://www.documentsonline.nationalarchive...1&resultcount=9 ).

Without knowing more detail & if it is his WW1 service you want, first thought is that Pte 2002 of the Lanc Fusiliers looks interesting????

Good luck

Steve

In 1881, the 108th (of Foot) Regiment became the Inniskilling Fusiliers.

Does this help any?

Sounds like a potential connection to me Dave. Irish born, in that regmnt ...?? In which case Alison, ignore the Lancs man for the time being & see : http://www.documentsonline.nationalarchive...=1&mediaarray=*

2 Samuel glasses in Royal Irish regiments also look promising ... Would imagine it will be a case of narrowing them down more somehow. Do you know where he lived in 1914, or even 1901 praps?

2 Samuel glasses in Royal Irish regiments look more promising.

...though, as he was a soldier in 1881, I think he'd be a tad too old for WW1. I'd forget this path if I were you.
