shaymen Posted 20 December , 2006 Share Posted 20 December , 2006 Came across the following during my research. Private T.C. Radley ( I believe it should be H.C.) Herts Regiment. Can't find him on either SDGW or CWGC (There is a George Radley Herts - But I've already got him) So I think I am looking for Henry Charles RADLEY - Got him on 1901 see attachment - right address, age - as per newspaper cutting. OK I know its only newspaper stuff , but could some kind soul (Call Terry D) be kind enough to check him on Overseas deaths. From the newspaper date I would suggest his death around Sept 1917. Thanks Glyn 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 20 December , 2006 Share Posted 20 December , 2006 No Pte TC or HC Radley appears in the Overseas Death Index. George is the only Herts Radley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaymen Posted 22 December , 2006 Author Share Posted 22 December , 2006 Just noticed his 'In Memoriam' in the local paper a year later, so he didn't suddenly put in an appearance. It names him as Private Henry Charles Radley and interestingly put him as KIA on Sept 2nd 1917. Oh well looks like I'm stuck with another mystery.

shaymen Posted 22 December , 2006 Author Share Posted 22 December , 2006 Got him - for some reason he was using the surname Jennings as well as Radley as a middle name and just to make it a bit harder to find him he was using Thomas instead of Henry Oh well at least I've solved my own mystery Name: JENNINGS, THOMAS CHARLES RADLEY Initials: T C R Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Private Regiment/Service: Hertfordshire Regiment Unit Text: 1st Bn. Age: 28 Date of Death: 02/09/1917 Service No: 266429 Additional information: Son of Thomas Charles and Sarah Ann Radley, of Lock Farm, Spelbrook, Bishop's Stortford.

John_Hartley Posted 22 December , 2006 Share Posted 22 December , 2006 Glyn Out of nosiness, how did you suss this one out? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaymen Posted 22 December , 2006 Author Share Posted 22 December , 2006 John When I came across the 'In Memoriam' bit in the paper it gave me a date, so I put that with Herts Reg into SDGW and Bingo there he was. Initially I could only go on names without a date. Just nice to get another sorted Easy innit Glyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Hartley Posted 22 December , 2006 Share Posted 22 December , 2006 a date, so I put that with Herts Reg into SDGW Of course. I'm being a bit thick this evening. Good result. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Nulty Posted 17 January , 2007 Share Posted 17 January , 2007 Glyn I noticed that although yer man appears to have been born around 1889, his parents, Thomas Radley and Sarah Ann Jennings, were only married in the second quarter of 1891. So he may well have been registered as a "Jennings", hence the use of this surname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaymen Posted 17 January , 2007 Author Share Posted 17 January , 2007 Stephen Thanks for that bit of info, interesting as there are a couple of Jennings in this part of my research. Cheers Glyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
