Myrtle Posted 12 October , 2005 Share Posted 12 October , 2005 Annie/Dick There's a mic for a Lt Col Geoffrey Carlyon South Lancs. Reg. May not be the same man but there is a Geoffrey Carlyon aged 11 in the 1881 census who was at, what sounds like a prep school, called Walton Lodge, New House, Brasted House, Castle Hill, Walton in Gordano, Somerset. As there was also a pupil of the same name at Charterhouse it may be worth checking the Charterhouse records first. May not be the same person but it seems worth a try. However if you are looking for someone earlier, there's a George Carlyon who was 66 years old in 1901 Born at St Blazey, Cornwall and living in Winkfield, Berks who was a retired Colonel. He seems to have had a son called Herbert who was a solicitor. Myrtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he your Capt E T James? Still working on these but need to have a small idea of the time period I am working with. They do not appear to be Boer War casualties as were your others. Regards.
