Quite probable he's just got the names wrong then, since the occupations match for the Father.

Still seems strange that there are no birth records or matches on 1871 census for him

Hi Gibel,

Confusion is stemming from his marriage where his father is listed as a John Latham? Agreed that the other info (druggist, Mary's birth location) seems to fit

The earliest cesus record I have is from 1881.

The address is number 7 Allcard Street in West Derby. He is listed as being aged 22 and is a Coal Dealer.

He is living with his mother, Mary A Latham. She is aged 55, a seamstress and is shown as being born in Dinapore, East Indies.

Both surnames as spelt as Lathom. There are no siblings, however there is an Emily Brandreth, listed as a Granddaughter (b. 1866)

Lancashire / Arthur Henry Latham - Birth??
« on: Thursday 01 September 11 21:23 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I'm desperately trying to find a birth record for Arthur (Henry) Latham, born about 1862 in Liverpool.

I can find him on the 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911 census as well as his marriage (1882) and his death (1929).

However, i cannot seem to find any mention of him before this as all the birth records are quite a few years out.

His marriage cert states that his fathers name was John Latham, a Chemist.

Any help solving this would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

World War Two / Burma/India Service Record Help
« on: Wednesday 04 May 11 21:06 BST (UK)  »
Hi Everyone,

I've recently acquired my partner's grandfathers war record. The family only know he served in Burma and the record is proving very difficult to understand., e.g. at the bottom of one page it says 'admitted to SM 61'?!

There are lots of abbreviations and numbers and I would appreciate any help in understanding where he served in India/Burma

Thanks in advance

Regarding the Africa Star, can anyone make sense of why it says Clasp Pt II?

Should it not state either 1st, 8th or 39-45?

Thanks for all the help so far, its appreciated  ;D

I'd be very interested to know if as a Stevedore he would have been working on anything secret?!
