Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone might be able to help with this arm badge, this is a picture of my dad in WW2, as far as we know he was in the 8th army serving in the Middle East, Iraq, North Africa and Italy. I cant find any info on the badge or what it symbolises, it looks like a cat to me.

Thanks in advance

Just found a Susannah Larking in the 1851 census, transcribed as Susannah Sarking.

3? Conduit Terrace, Greenwich
Susannah Larking, wife, married, 23, mariners wife, b.Greenwich

Ref. H.O.107/1587

So we can now say she was born 1827 rather than 1837

Hello,
I just stumbled across this thread and thought I would pass on this little bit of information. I have a Elizabeth Couldery in my tree, married to Thomas Larking. The marriage took place in Charlton, Kent in 1839. Elizabeth is down as of full age and a spinster. Her fathers name is Richard Couldery, a butcher. They had eight children.
In the 1841 census they are living in Greenwich and have a son Thomas 1yr old. Living with them is Frederick Couldery age 16. probably Elizabeths brother. They are all ticked born in County. In the 1851 census Frederick is a visitor at Blackheath Hill, Greenwich age 26 and a Butcher. In 1871 Frederick is married to Rosina and still in Blackheath Hill, although now he is the Head of family, there are no children. In 1851 Richard Couldery appears as a witness on the marriage certificate of Edward Larking, my g.g.grandfather.
Hope this is of some help

Hi,
Well, the others in the street seem to be quite mixed, theres a waterman, domestic servants, a vanguard, and bricklayers labourers. The two females in my family are washers, so maybe its something to do with laundry.?
Thanks for your help anyway
