I found the same articles and medical card. I have been researching this family line for quite some time and when I'm not hitting brick walls, I find a few of skeletons in the closet. What fun!
I absolutely adore mysteries...
I was thinking that there may have been more articles in newspapers, but I'm in the US and can't find anything online other than the London Gazette. I have information about his birth, marriage, two families, and his death. At the moment, I'm stuck in 1930 trying to find out about his conviction.
Does anyone know what it means to be convicted by the Civil Power? Could he have still been in the military in 1930 to have been stripped of his rank? Or could he have been a civilian?
Thanks a bunch for all your help!
