Armed Forces / Christopher Dobree BENSON
« on: Tuesday 12 October 10 05:49 BST (UK)  »
My first posting to this list.
Ancestor Christopher Dobree BENSON served as a private with the Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment), 23rd Battalion (service no 82).  He enlisted at Sheffield Yorkshire on 14 Nov 1915; resident Westminster at enlistment. Awarded the Victory, Star and British war medals.
His death, 18 Feb 1917, does not appear to have occurred at a significant timeline event during war time. I would appreciate any information/hints/clues for finding more information.
Thank you for listening.

Devon Lookup Requests / DOWN
« on: Monday 15 March 10 23:43 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,
Belatedly tapped into this message line.
I am seeking information for Charles DOWN and wife Mary, who had issue Mary 1689, John 1692, Charles 1697, William 1700 and Richard 1704 (the latter died in infancy) - all born Merton Devon.  expect Charles and Mary wed about 1688.
There are tantalising records for earlier DOWNs in this area, but not for "my" Charles.
I would so much appreciate any help possible.
Regards to all,
Lorraine,
Australia
