Guest Posted 13 March , 2019 Share Posted 13 March , 2019 Unable to locate regiment and service no. needed for IWM Lives of First World War registration.

Survived Married Edith and Children include Rueben - not located records Birth detail Record Transcription: Category Birth, Marriage, Death & Parish Records Subcategory Civil Births Collections from Great Britain, England England & Wales Births 1837-2006 First name(s) GEORGE RICH Last name PARSONS Birth year 1888 Birth quarter 2 Registration month- (Said to be May) Mother's maiden name Rich District St. Saviour Southwark County London Country England Volume 1D Page 144 Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedCoat Posted 14 March , 2019 Share Posted 14 March , 2019 (edited) Certainly Royal Artillery, probably a Driver in the Royal Field Artillery - given his mount and spurs. If I had an initial contender it would be 1006 George R Parsons who later transferred to the Royal Engineers. I will have a search for him.... Kind regards, Daniel.

Mark1959 Posted 14 March , 2019 Share Posted 14 March , 2019 (edited) There is a George R Parsons in the 1939 Register born 18/4/1888. Wife Edith (b. 1885). Children George, Reuben and Charles plus potentially another (closed record). 6 Camden Avenue, Camberwell Probate record shows,died,18/6/1944 at St, Giles Hospital, Camberwell. Still living at same address. Also found a baptism record for another child Edith May. GRP married Edith Wyatt on 2/11/13.

Mark1959 Posted 15 March , 2019 Share Posted 15 March , 2019 (edited) Jenni has confirmed she believed the above man to be the right one. His children were born George R 14/2/14 Edith May Parsons 22/9/17 Reuben J 26/4/20 Charles E 10/12/22 Jenni - I would suggest ordering Edith May's birth certificate as if GRP was in the forces then it may list his service number. https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ Her birth was registered in Camberwell, 4th quarter 1917 Cannot find any record that links a particular soldier to this man Edited 15 March , 2019 by Mark1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 15 March , 2019 Share Posted 15 March , 2019 Hi This is a great idea! Will ask the granddaughter I am acting for. Will see what happens and let you know! I am not very familiar with the records but got 2 easier ones registered for another person. One was killed in action which IWM found for me so a quicker result on that one ! Many thanks Jenni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
