So looking at all your fantastic work my avenue to establish family connection whic I may have wrong after all is to find out if john Richard pollards mother Alice Anne pollard is related to my lot as john I assume is only a pollard as his mother was pollard and not yet taken the married name of durbin I have just signed up to ancestry , is there any way I can make contact with the person who made the tree with john Richard Cameron durbin pollard in ? Thanks again
Nathan

Alice married John 9/12/1878 aged 21 , so John Pollard was born before they were married, but his fathers names were shown when he was registered.

Jennifer

These are his parents?

:) That looks like the family in 1881 with a John Richard C DURBIN aged 4 b Accrington?

Hi have you viewed this census at all?

Wait a minute, are we now trying to locate the parents of a John Pollard b 1879?

The one above has mother Alice Ann and sister Emily Durbin?
if it was at all possible to locate his parents that's would be brilliant and interesting , way beyond my abilities though , so any help greatly appreciated :)

All the best nathan

Willyam -- the John Richard Pollard you found in World War 1 Records - isn't the correct one (the one which has service number 214263). The other 2 records you found (ie the Militia then the East Lancs both in 1897) --- ARE him though.

The WW1 one you found has a wife Mary A (nee Haworth actually) and came from Rossendale).

The correct John Richard Durbin (and whatever else!) Pollard - married Hannah Kemble in 1914 at Hyndburn Register Office ar at a Registrar attended marriage (Lancs BMD).

I cannot see an immediate service record for him in WW1 -- although it doesn't mean that he didn't serve of course.

He seems to have obtained his medals in the Boer War -- according to the Forces War Record Site -- unless Nathan -- you also have a WW1 medal for him.
thanks again for your reply it's very much appreciated , I do not have ww1 medals for him just the boer war , from a google search though I found that these medals where sold in 2006 at auction with other "family medals " those where ww1 medals but awarded to 6967 Pte j r pollard loyal north lancs regiment but these have been seperated it would appear

He didn't die in action -- John Richard Durbin Pollard died in 1953 in the Sub Registration District of Accrington. He is the one who fought initially in the Boer War.

I thought this was the correct person -- is there some doubt now?

Hi no this is the correct man service number ect , I am curious as to wether he served during the First World War ect , and when I say cousin naturally not my direct cousin , but perhaps a cousin of my great grandfather David pollard who was from Accrington his wife was Annie charlotte and had a few kids Walter Richard pollard Kia 8/7/1917 also Emily Harriet pollard my maternal grandmother thanks again all this far

Nathan,

A "Military" search on Findmypast using the surname of POLLARD & his soldier number of 5398 reveals a detailed army service record for John Richard POLLARD.

Willyam

Nathan,

Also in Findmypast is a record of his original attestation to the East Lancs militia on 18 February 1897, with his soldier number then being 7334.

Additionally, there is a further record in respect of his re-enlistment on 11 December 1915 as Gunner no. 214263 in the Royal Field Artillery.

Willyam

Thanks for your help but I think they are different ment the artilleryman was born 1881 ?
Thanks again
Nathan

Out of interest, why would you buy someones medals who wasn't related to you?
Most main libraries in towns have free access to either FindMyPast or Ancestry, you may have to book to use the computer service at the library and so i would phone first.

Mary :)

Hi Mary if you read my o/p you will see I haven't purchased medals to someone who is not related to me , he is related to me I just wasn't sure whereabouts in the family tree he was I have now established from records I have kept from previous research he is in fact my great grand fathers cousin , I origionally thought them to be brothers but it looks to be they where cousins
Thanks all for you help
Nathan
