Armed Forces / Re: Lookup please: CH Hounsom
« on: Thursday 24 November 11 06:39 GMT (UK) »
Ken, thanks. That explains why he would've left the UK police to join the police here.
Trevor, he married Eileen Ocea in about 1914. They lived in the Krantzkop area for a while as their first born son was born there and then they moved to the Port Shepstone area.
I have a trophy cup of his that he won for target shooting in 1912 it states that he is a Sergeant in the M Dist of NP. From another source it would seem that this was the Lower Tugela / Maphumulo district but not sure about this.

Yes, Trevor, I realise that now. And yes, I have looked at the archives for CH but I think I only found his death notice. I will try to see if I can get more info from police records somehow.
Thanks so much for your assistance.

Trevor I was looking at one that was stated as being for:
Charles Herbert Hodgson in 1901
As Hounsom is a commonly mispelled name I took this to be him as the Charles Herbert, date of birth and age are correct. But I am obviously mistaken and it was probably Hodgson.

Thank you Trevor.
Yes it is my post on the other site.
I guess my census record must not be correct if he left England in Feb 1901. If he states his occupation as police, does this mean he resigned from the police in the UK and then joined them in SA?
Thanks again for the info.

Are you saying that he did not enter the army in the UK but when he arrived in South Africa?
I have him on census in 1901 in the UK in an army barracks so I think he came to South Africa with the British army.

Hello
I am sorry if I am posting this in the wrong forum and please move it if it is.
I am trying to find out about my great grandfather's career in the armed forces.
I have him on the medal roll of 1902(WO 100/261), listed as Natal Police, regiment number 2533.
Name: CH Hounsom (Charles Herbert)
I know he came to South Africa as part of the military police in the Boer war and he never left SA.
I would love it if someone could give me more detailed information on his career in the army and also is there a way to see if he was given the medal?
Many thanks.

Boy Scout, Hi 
These Fynney's are puzzling me
The King William passenger list says that Fielding B Fynney arrived with spouse (Frances) and 4 children (Frederick, Oswald, Alfred and Arthur)
Then another record I have is that Louisa is the mother of Ocea (Ocea was born at sea). This means that Louisa was on board the King William. She (Louisa) is buried in South Africa.
There is so much I need to know so maybe PM's would work best.
Chat soon.
regards
