Burials for Rainhill Hospital were usually at St.Helens Cemetery.. The records for this cemetery are available free of charge on line....

Lancashire / Re: identify military uniform
« on: Wednesday 24 October 12 22:06 BST (UK) »
First class service Gorton Boy! Is his service record available. Does it say where he served or when he left the army? Must have been family lore that he was an officer! Not surprised he was not, he came from a very working class background and lived in are rented two up two down
Thanks

I have another query about one of my military ancestors and hope you can help. David McCormick born 1868 St.Helens m father John McCormick mother Ellen. Believed to be an officer in the army and served in the Boer War. That's all I know about his military service. He did immigrate to US in. Early 1900's
No portrait this time though.

Thank you for this....
Interesting that mother was in America. Joseph immigrated to US in 1895. Married and remained there until his death in 1920.
Family in US would be grateful for details of his military service - do you know where they could contact to get any service records or details of his service.
Again many thanks

Thanks,
He was born approx 1872 probably in Farnworth, Lancashire. His father was Joseph, his mother Eliza. He lived in Darley Street in 1891.
He married several years later -probably not when he was in the military.
The potrait shows a man wearing long black boots to his knees, white trousers, red jacket, with silver coloured breast shield..a white/gold sash across his chest. His hat has white plumes.

can anyone suggest a site to help identify a military uniform - possibly coldstream guards late 1800's. Have a potrait of ancestor in uniform but no idea of regiment.

Thanks - I had seen he was blind on the 1910 census , this is the only census which gives this info on so not able to see how long he had this condition...|I have his WW1 draft registration for WW1 which states in 1918 he was blind in both eyes... he immigrated in 1906 and no mention of being blind on ships manifest....thought he had received the injury in WW1 but then 1910 census scuppers that idea...on 1930 census said he was not a veteran.. I wonder if he had an accident between 1906 and 1910??/ his wife and six children immigrated to US a year later.
Have looked for them on 1940 census but as you say its not fully indexed...looking forward to that.
Interesting info from 1930 Camden index, I hadn't seen that and the childrens name all fit the family of William and Ellen - although she had never had a middle name M on anything else.. I do have one US Social Security Death Index for a possible lead but place of death I have not connected yet with family, but then Grant Avenue Pennsauken Township is new!!!
Many thanks for sending this - each day find a little more about this branch of my family
Cheers
