Armed Forces / John Leghorn.
« on: Friday 13 December 24 15:44 GMT (UK)  »
I have a John Leghorn dying aged 51 in Glasgow UK in 1878. His daughters marriage lines say he's an army pensioner. The 1881 census has wife Ellen born Ireland, daughter Ann in East India Bangalore 1864 and Mary in England 1869. Am I right then in thinking he was a soldier in India ?

Armed Forces / Army Veterinary Corp

I have just found a birth cert for a great uncle and my Great grandfather Thomas Littles occupation is Private Army Veterinary Corp in 1916 in Glasgow. He was a Carter and I'm guessing that would be because of the horses. Never heard of the Veterinary Corp , anyone else encountered them ?

Down / Re: Looking for info Charles Bell and Sarah Mahoods family, Belfast and Banbridge .
« on: Tuesday 07 January 20 17:01 GMT (UK)  »
I have came back to this post as theres a possibility the Sarah Jane Mahood 1905 i stated could be the wrong one.There is only 2 in the 1911census
 Sarah Jane Mahoods marriage cert 31/12/1931,,says she lived at 193 Canmore Street, Belfast, no age just Full. Father James, woodturner, witnesses  sister Annie and James Gray, married 27/08/1939 193 Canmore St Belfast also.
 Sarah Janes death cert in 1940 says she was 35 which led me to believe she was born in 1905 and matched Sarah Jane in Banbridge in 1911 census. The other Sarah Jane was born in 1901 in Argyle St, close to Canmore St her father also James Mahood and mother Annie Wilson.
 Sarahs sister Annies age matches the age in the 1911 census for The Belfast Mahoods and not the Banbridge Mahoods. Could they have got the age at death wrong? I believed it was the Banbridge but a cousin believes its the Belfast family. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Raymie
