hello,

thank you to all,the depth of knowledge on this site never ceases to amaze me!!
grandfather was born 25 DEC 1882 in London(bermondsey). i looked at my records again and he was in Calcutta so that match's also.

the 1911 has him in barracks awaiting discharge at alverstoke Hampshire( he was married shortly after his discharge).

how would i go about getting his records from kew?

where are the good conduct chevrons on his uniform? please excuse my  lack of knowledge but what is a coy,trg,
and puttees?

i have one other question,the mounted photo on his left forearm there are crossed insignia?? does anyone know what they are?

once again thank you,  :)

hello,


thank you!!  these are photos of my grandfather john George bayly .   my grandfather was  supposed to have served 1904-1911 in India and Egypt. i think i have found him in the 1911 census, that is where we got the rifle brigade information from. does the second photo provide anymore clues?

thank you again,
Eric

yes i have looked at the 1891 and 1901 in Scotland,lots of thomas Morrison though, it would have been nice of him to use his middle name but that would be to easy.

i often wonder if he was in prison?

hi,

yes i have both the death certificates,after looking at Emma's her name was given as Emma Morrison bayley wife of thomas shire Morrison bayley!!!!!

i guess the big question is why he doesn't show up on the census? a few of his children listed him as deceased at the time of their marriage even though he was alive at the time.

hi Barbara,

thank you,thomas shire did not die until 1912! so why did she list herself a widow?  William bayly is my great grandfather, Emma is my great grandmother.  i believe they lived together as a couple until Williams death in 1903. i have never found a marriage for them,no surprise since Emma's husband was alive!


when Emma died, her daughter gave her name as Emma Morrison bayley, wife of thomas shire Morrison!!! she died in 1904.

it is quite the mystery

thank you,
Eric

hello,

i would be forever grateful, if someone could find thomas shire Morrison on the 1891 census. he was born about 1836-1839 in Aberdeen Scotland,he was a master tailor. he should have been in London at the time but i have been unable to find him.

thank you,
Eric
