Hello Patlac, Walter was born 29/04/1902; but that won’t be of any help for electoral rolls.

Essex / Walter Goddard, Pilgrims Hatch, 1930s
« on: Saturday 26 April 25 00:29 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I have down in my notes that Walter and his wife Eva were living in Pilgrims Hatch during the early 1930s, first at ‘Rosemead’ and then in Wood’s Cottages. I don’t have down the years for the electoral rolls however. Could someone please help me?
Best wishes,
Adam

Armed Forces / Home Guard uniforms, 1942
« on: Friday 07 March 25 21:35 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I was sent a battalion photo a few years ago, or the 5th Battalion of the Essex Home Guard. The caption reads ‘officers September 1942’. Yet most of the men are enlisted men and not officers, apparent by their uniform. My grandma’s dad is in there, and he was certainly not an officer. I thought perhaps then that this is officers and NCOs, but there are no stripes on any of the men. Could anyone please tell me if this was standard for this type of Home Guard uniform? I’d appreciate any help. Will post the photo in a moment.
Best wishes,
Adam

Armed Forces / ‘The History of the Wiltshire Home Guard’ by Major E.A. MacKay
« on: Wednesday 05 March 25 22:58 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I have seen that this book was reprinted in 2015. Has anyone got a copy? I am interested in the list of all volunteers apparently included, to see if one Thomas Henry Salter and Percy Edwin Coleman are included in said list in (presumably) B Company, 1st Battalion, as both lived in Calne and reputedly were in the Home Guard. I am thinking of asking for this book for my birthday, which is why I ask; so if anyone could please assist me that would be greatly appreciated.

That’s right. There are articles on his suicide in 1840.

Thanks very much rosie99! Apparently Back Lane is now Swakeleys Road, which is also where the almshouses are.

London and Middlesex / Sarah Winch of Ickenham addresses
« on: Saturday 01 March 25 17:24 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I have the census records for Sarah (b. c. 1796, Hayes) but can’t find where I’ve saved them. She was living in Ickenham for all the censuses from 1841 to 1881. She died in the almshouses in 1886, as I have the death certificate. Could anyone please check for me where exactly — if it is given on any of the censuses — in Ickenham she lived? I can get to Ickenham quite easily so am planning a short trip.
