World War Two / Re: R.A. (H.AA.)
« on: Tuesday 24 January 12 11:11 GMT (UK)  »
On closer inspection, it doesn't look like his TA unit was what he ended up serving in. The release leave certificate from 1946 says he'd been serving under that particular commanding officer for only 18 months. Not sure about before that. The release book (I've only got a bad photocopy) has an address as RA )HAA) Records, St Marie's Hall, Dunchurch Road, Rugby, and contains an ink stamp: " No 10 D.C.U, and M.D.U. 5 May 1946 Aldershot"

No idea how I managed to miss this reply! Would have been living around Southwark...

Derbyshire / Re: Wilkinson, Charles Henry b1868

Ooh, thank you, that's very helpful. I have very limited information on this section of the family so far. Hadn't seen the 1833 marriage, which looks a likely contender, particularly considering the son Isaac's middle name is Archer.

Thanks!

Wow, that is so cool, I didn't know you could get access to old sites like that, thank you! I did follow the instructions in post 4, just failed to appreciate there was information behind the dates...d'oh!

Derbyshire / Wilkinson, Charles Henry b1868
« on: Sunday 01 January 12 16:11 GMT (UK)  »
I have his army attestation papers (Sherwood Foresters), and am looking to fill in more details/see if anyone else has a similar line. His father was Isaac Archer Wilkinson b1847, grandfather Isaac Wilkinson b abt 1814, but that's all I have on the family history.
For his army career I have the following: His service in the Sherwood Foresters ran from 21st November 1886 until 19th September 1898. His service conduct was listed as "exemplary". 

He signed up in Derby in September 1886, was transferred to Kilkenny on 16/12/1886, transferred again on 5/7/1887, to Limerick on 19/1/1888, back to Limerick on 28/1/1889 (having been transferred away 15/10/18889), to Devonport on 1/5/1889, Colchester on ?/12/1889, and finally to Derby on 27/10/1892.

He was in the 1st Battalion, transferred to the Army Reserves on 18/10/1895, and finally discharged on 19/08/1898.

Would love to find out more about what the Regiment would have been involved in, and to be able to trace further back from Isaac.

That is sad... Is it possible to still access the information and get it back "out there" at all?

I've got Derby 20/09/86
Kilkenny 16/12/1886
What looks like Duncannon 5/7/1887
Limerick 19/01/1888
The next one I struggle with the handwriting: I'll try to scan it in and see if anyone else can decipher it, looks to me like Lealie, but I really don't know 15/10/1888
Limerick 28/1/1889
Devonport 1/5/1889
Colchester 6/12/1891
Derby 27/10/1897

Thanks! It was the first battalion, and looking further on the papers it lists the plac in Ireland he served.
