World War One / Re: WW1 Northumberland Dragoon Guards 1917-1920
« on: Saturday 02 March 13 14:41 GMT (UK)  »
Unfortunately only going on bits of info I know.
His WW2 record shows that in WW1 his service was in the Dragoon Guards 1917-1920.  I have established the cap badge is for the AVC.  When I tried to find out who was recruiting around 1917/18 was advised Northumberland Fussiliers and the Durham Light Infantry.

Any help welcome. 
Grandfather Abraham John Margetson (known as Jack) b24.12.1899 served 1917 - 1920. lived North Shields 1917.  Uniform cap badge shows Army Veterinary Corps (AVC).  Served out in Suez area. 
Does anyone known if any units from Northumberland Fusiliers or Durham Light Infantry served in north Africa towards the end of the war which had a AVC with them?

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Lookup request - Abraham Thompson Margetson
« on: Monday 02 August 10 20:43 BST (UK)  »
Thank you all so much!

Don't think Jane was a sister of Hannah. Hannah had 12 brother/sisters and half brothers etc.  but no Jane amongst them.  Hannah was born in 1847 so is too young to be mother of William Robson, born in (Stillington) York and in York in 1861 census.

Yes Abraham is son of John and Ann from Thompson in Norfolk.  Thanks for info re Ovington Parish.  Will do some research on this.  Unable to find anything on Abraham in 1861.

Brilliant info on ship etc. is any of the info on line? 

Thanks again help much appreciated.
