Greyhound Posted 25 November , 2006 Share Posted 25 November , 2006 This one looks more likely, although the service no. is different. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documen...p;resultcount=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Hartley Posted 25 November , 2006 Share Posted 25 November , 2006 Michael Please clarify for us what information you're after here. If it's about your father, then we may not be able to be much help as we are not WW2 experts necessarily. If it's about your grandfather, Frederick, then I agree the link that Greyhound provides looks a good bet. It may well be that he was discharged from the army sometime after your father was born in 1907 and had completed his time on the reserve by the time war was declared. If he then reenlisted this would account for the discrepancy in numbers when war was declared. There's also a post WW1 number suggesting he may well have reenlisted yet again as a regular. Other Forum members who have greater knowledge of Liverpool numbering may be able to comment further. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul Tandy Posted 23 January , 2012 Share Posted 23 January , 2012 Hi Mike, Realise I am bouncing an old thread back up again, but may be able to assist or possibly confirm some information for you regarding the Feeney Family. My Great Great Aunt was Dorcas Dinah Feeney who married your grandfather. We've been trying to trace Dorcas for many many years and had a break through finding this post on here, just hoping you still view the forum as it looks like a while since you last posted.

Sandie Hayes Posted 23 January , 2012 Share Posted 23 January , 2012 The archives of the King's Regiment (Liverpool) are held as part of the King's Regiment collection at the Museum of Liverpool. They are available by prior appointment only. The Maritime Archives and Library holds a small selection of published histories and other publications on open access (see Biographical research into the King's Regiment for further details). http://www.liverpool...diers/research/ In addition the First World War Battalion war diaries and casualty books are also available at the Maritime Archives and Library. These typed copies contain a daily record of the activities of each Battalion. Officers will be frequently mentioned, other ranks less so.

Regards Promenade Hi Joe,we spoke a few years ago when I started this research a few corrections Lucy Margaret Feeney was Lousise Margaret born Aldershot 1905. Leslie James Feeney (my father) born Nasirbad India 1906.I have always had a problem finding their Marriage Cert,to find Alice's maiden name.Dorothy May Feeney was born in Aldershot 21-8 1913.The 1911 cenus shows Frederick at Salford a post office clerk,which i found out yesterday thanks again for your help, it would appear Fred may have done two tours India and S.Africa,what do you think?
