Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Can not decipher name of the sea port
« on: Sunday 21 June 20 14:12 BST (UK)  »
Not certain how I thank everyone by name for their replies but thank you for your time.  It does make sense that it is Halifax, Nova Scotia as two years later in September 1914 he joined the Canadian Army at the start of WW1 under the name of Richard Smith.  He only changed his army records in 1915 to his true name on marrying in England.

Hello Sandy,

Thank you for your reply and I am still exploring the Navy angle along with a James Dearman who sailed to Canada on the 23 Sep 1911 and is shown on the Corinthian passenger list as 9 years old but our James would have been 19 as he was born 23 Jun 1892 (I have his birth certificate).  He also stated that he was 19 and six months on enlistment when he would have been 22 years old. Will continue to put the puzzle together.  Your grandparents were my Uncle and Aunt.

Sandy,
Thank you for your post.  I am interested in finding out what James did between 1910 to 1914 as during that time he left Essex for Canada and joined the Canadian Army in 1914 (I have his service records).
Do you have Eddie and Millie Davis in your family tree?
Brian

Stan,

Thank you for the most helpful information.  The RW may be a the letter D that has not been completed therefore it would read RD.  However it is a birth certificate issued on 10 October 1927 at Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.  Full address is Hopefield Lodge, Haddenham, RW or RD.

Family History Beginners Board / Birth Certificate Abbreviations

On four birth certificates I have come across the following abbreviations in the 'when and where born' column.  U.D., R.S.D., R.W. and R.D.  Would appreciate any help as to what they stand for.

rosie17,
Thank you for your replies which have been most helpful.  It is the same James Dearman who married Minnie in the UK on 17 January 1915.  Henry was born in 1918 in England and Bertie was born on 15 July 1919 in Toronto, Canada.  I have located James on 1901 census (9 years old) but not on 1911 census.  Will continue to try and find what James was doing between 1901 and 1914 when he joined the Canadian Field Artillery including when he travelled to Canada prior to 1914.

Trying to find details of James Dearman born 13 June 1892 in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, England emigration to Canada.  WW1 papers show he enlisted into the Canadian Field Artillery on 25 September 1914 at Valcartier Camp, Quebec using the name Richard Smith born 13 June 1888. Any help would be appreciated.
