Armed Forces / Re: Kisses for 92nd Regiments Recruits 1809
« on: Saturday 24 August 24 07:15 BST (UK)  »
Thank you, Maddy.
Then 1809 is too late in any case. Alas, neither kiss nor likely a shilling (at least not from the Duchess) in 1809 for my William Ingram. It was his 15th birthday. And when he was pensioned, he was not recompensed for the years he served under-age. Nonetheless, some harrowing stories were passed on of his engagements, esp at Quatre Bras where wounded. I am here because a Frenchman missed his mark and did not expect William to be left-handed.

Armed Forces / Kisses for 92nd Regiments Recruits 1809

Was the Duchess of Gordon giving kisses and a shilling to recruits in 1809?

Scotland / Re: Offence against 251 clause of the G. P. Act

So here is the irony of my 2xGreat Grandfather being found guilty of offending Clause 345 of the G. P. Act,  allowing his chimney to catch fire in the winter of 1886 Fraserburgh. He was fined 2/6 or order to spend 1 day in jail. He paid £9 2 and 6, which I suppose is the cost of putting out the fire? 
However, he was the keeper of the Fraserburgh jail! Either way, he was spending the night there. So I can picture him toting his bedroll to the cell for the night and telling the rest to move over some. :-)

Thank you, djct59, for the prompt reply!

I am hoping that djct59 or someone else can tell me to what offences Clause 345 of the General Practices Act pertained. Great Great Grandfather was guilty in Fraserburgh 1886. Go ahead and tell me; I can take it. 🙃

Thank you for posting. Since I posted the request, one of his descendants has found his death cert. She says cause of death is peritonitis.
I just still wanted to know if he was in Newport because of the tragedy early that month.
Thanks,
HS

Hmmmm It would help to find emigration/immigration to find
When did Elizabeth and the boys go to Australia?
Did they have the girl Annie Champion Ingram with them?
Were they in the company of GW Rowan?
Was Elizabeth a Rowan?

The AKA Ingram is in keeping with Scottish law and custom, even if she had not had children named Ingram, she'd be listed as both.  Another cousin who died in Perth, although they had no children at all, was (death) registered as both her maiden and married surname.

What I would find more curious is that Elizabeth May seems to have completely shed her maiden name of Champion. I had heard (it was just presumed?) that after the 1911 census, she went with the children to live with her family in England.  Wonder if there is any truth to that?
Australia is/was the land of new beginnings, right?
The other son was in SA, so I wonder which area they first went... or even if they went together.
It is truly said that one answer only leads to many more questions.
Onward....

Dear rosball, deeiluka, SASHAR, and cando!
You've really helped me out, and I thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
At the end of last week, all I knew was that my granddad's brother had passed away of a fever somewhere near the Cape, enroute from India, and that after the 1911 census I had no idea what happened to his wife and children.
This is amazing. I'd sure like to discover more details. How sad that William and Florence lost their boys. i hope some children lived.
Wonder what William was doing in Western Flat. And do you think there were 2 Arthur Charles Ingrams, one in WA and one in NT? Or since 1943 is while he is in the service, might he have registered himself while stationed in NT? Still the carpenter thing is odd, unless that is what the army had him doing.
