What is the rest of the reference i.e the page number (or his name/number even) Is it close to the one supplied in post 1 (page 1267)
Gwil
Hi Gwil, thanks for the reply. These are the bits I have so far - his name is Frank Sharp(e), reg number is 63432 (WW1 Medal Card)
What do you think? Is there anything else I can do from here?

« on: Friday 24 April 15 15:14 BST (UK) »Thank you all for your kind replies. I found Sion's posts seconds after I posted my query here, and was happy to find Alfred's name, despite no regiment.
I haven't found his wartime addresses, no, though I will be looking for those now in absent voters' lists as I know they sometimes give a regiment in lieu of their names.
Thanks to all of you again.
Ah - I just learned that the 101/B18 is not a reference to unit! Never mind. All the same, if you managed to make any progress I would appreciate any pointers you might be able to pass on!
Thanks again

Hi Livinengland - I know you posted this a long time ago but I wondered if you had made any progress? I am doing some research on behalf of a friend and her relative was I believe in the same unit as your relative. His medal card says RAMC/101 B18.
Did you have any success in finding out any more information? I was going to try the RAMC museum - have you tried them already?
Thank you in advance

Other Countries / Re: Latour / Lantour / Lautour of Calcutta, India
« on: Monday 28 July 14 17:04 BST (UK) »Hi Hannah
Here is the link to the baptismal records in Calcutta. It seems to be a one off collection which have been both transcribed and the original digitalized. Unfortunately it only has records dating from 1778-1782. It would be fantastic if further records came to light in the near future.
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/cmadge/Baptisms%20in%20Calcutta%201778-1782.pdf
The Francis Latour memtioned in these records is recorded as being a Matross. Matross was a soldier of artillery, who ranked next below a gunner. The duty of a matross was to assist the gunners in loading, firing and sponging the guns. It would seem that this Francis Latour is not the same as JFL in Madras, and there is certainly no mention of a daughter Mary in his Will.
Again as Dawn mentions I have found the records on FindMyPast invaluable for moving my research along and I have been able to establish and confirm so many more family links by using this site.
Good luck with your research. Please feel free to share any discoveries here.
Regards Perks1
Hi Perks1!
Thank you so much for all of this and sorry for my late reply, I wasn't sent a notification that you had responded for some reason!
Anyway, that's great - I'll go and have a look on FindMyPast and see what I can dig up there.
Thanks very much for taking the time to get back to me - I'll certainly post anything new I come across relating to the family!

I think that JFL may have have had an illegitimate daughter, Mary, in 1775, as have found baptismal records on 5 May 1775 at St Johns Church, Calcutta with a father Francis. I can find no further records detailing what happened to her after this.
P.P.S. Perks1 - may I ask, how did you manage to locate these Calcutta church records? Are they still stored in India or have they been moved over to the UK? Thank you!

Also - the information about Marie Antoinette and Louis VI is fascinating. Did this come from the biography too?

Hello all, I'm also researching the Lautour family and wondered if I might ask you some questions about the bits and pieces you've been posting? Bedilia, you seem to have loads of great information on the family - you mentioned that you had a copy of the biography written of Joseph Francois de Lautour - I would love to hear more about what's in it! The line I'm researching goes down through Joseph Andrew and then to William Frances de Lautour, so any additional information about them would be very gratefully received too!
