Armed Forces / Boer War 1902
« on: Sunday 27 February 11 02:41 GMT (UK) »
I have a kings medal belonging to a relative William Edward Smith. The number is a bit hard to read but appears to be 5929 and rank could be Colour sarg . He was born at Breewood Shifnal Shropshire in Oct 1880 and belonged to the Kings Shropshire Light Infantry. He did not seem to be wounded and certainly survived as he married and came to Australia after 1902. I think he may also have been in India before 1902 . If any one can advise me on how to get his military history I would be very thankful.

Hi
I am one of the Adam Leighton 1744 line and so far it goes like this
Adam my 5th great grandfather married Catherine Ridley (Riley?)
their daughter Susanna Leighton 1761 married Ralph Spooner 1760.
their son Ralph Spooner 1790 married Mary Hunter 1791.
their son Peter Spooner 1823 married Isabella Burn B?.
Their daughter Sarah Spooner 1851 married William James Robson 1849 and they came to Australia with the first of their 5 children in 1830 on the Orient to NSW.
Their Australian born daughter Agnes Spooner Robson 1890 married John Robert Smith 1888.
Their daughter living married George Cook and then there is me.
I just put birth years to place them but until they picked up sticks and came to Australia they were all from around Durham and mostly miners.
If you can add to my knowledge or are a far flung relation I would love to hear from you. I have many children through those ages and general info if it can help you.
