Steve. ……. and you won't as that now seems to be a new page. I've used it several times before and am trying track down the link I used......unless they have removed it in order to make a few bucks in charging fees. I'll get back to you - assume no news is bad news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TullochArd Posted 6 April , 2020 Share Posted 6 April , 2020 (edited) Well that's a blow. The King's (Liverpool) Regiment database Stevie9173 mentions certainly WAS available online but obviously no longer is. No idea why. I've used it several times and my recollection is that result generated was basically a consolidation of MIC/Medal Rolls ……. which have likely been explored already. Pity that - it was quite handy for ploughing through big numbers of names. P.S. Apologies for the Red Herring …….. promise to buck up!

Anne Clinch Posted 6 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 6 April , 2020 Hi All well I’ve looked a lot on ancestry WW1 records & so far I haven’t found anything conclusive but I do want to thank you all very much for all your wonderful help & suggestions. Are you all saying you think it was probably Kings Liverpool? Or Lancs? regarding the age yes there are some discrepancies but that was quite common then- basically he got a little younger! : birth index 1876 1881 census 4yrs 1904 marriage 25 1911 census 32 So by 1914 actually probably was 38 but thought was probably 35? Thanks again guys Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 6 April , 2020 Share Posted 6 April , 2020 My vote is for KINGS. I don't think any of the Lancashire Regiments abbreviated their shoulder titles. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anne Clinch Posted 6 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 6 April , 2020 Hi Just to re assure the marriage to Amelia Jane Rudersdorf in 1904 is absolutely correct for my great grandfather John James Hunt. Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom K Posted 6 April , 2020 Share Posted 6 April , 2020 (edited) It looks like MGS to me - machine gun section/school depending on who you believe. Edited 6 April , 2020 by Tom K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s possible to make out the I before the N even on my phone, Tom. No title LINCS existed and the Lancashire regiments used the County in full. It feels like we’ve moved beyond doubts of it being KINGS, who were consistent in their use of that simple title.
