Kate Wills Posted 26 December , 2005 Share Posted 26 December , 2005 Hi Dick Also, do you have any information for Felstead School (Essex)... Kate Kate, I don't know if Felstead (or Felsted) ever produced a memorial book, but a friend made an enquiry to them a few years ago, and the reply said they had lost their pre-WW2 archives. I have an old postcard of their carved Roll of Honour, which I will try to post, though it may be better to ask the school for a better image.

bigronhartley Posted 6 January , 2006 Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Hello Dick, I wondered if you might have registers and/or rolls for Marlborough College and/or Trinity College, Dublin ? If so, would you be kind enough to do a lookup for Edward John Patrick FitzGerald Macartney-Filgate ? He was born in 1865, so would have been at Marlborough around 1875-85 and subsequently at Trinity College, Dublin about 1885-95. I would be most grateful for any information of a biographical nature, particularly his professional career and military career. Thanks for your kind offer. Regards, Ron Hartley.
