Armed Forces / Re: 1900 army pensions
« on: Monday 18 August 08 15:07 BST (UK)  »
The soldier in question was a sergeant John Graham, Royal Artillery. His service number was  17466. He was discharged 1891 and was supposed to return to Belfast.
, the address given on his dicharge papers was Orchard Street Belfast. He was married to a Saint Helena girl and had approx 8 children. He served 24 years in the Artillery.
       I have visited all the possible cemetries in Belfast and have found some of his children but not him or his wife.
           Any ideas???
                       Many thanks

Armed Forces / 1900 army pensions
« on: Saturday 16 August 08 19:34 BST (UK)  »
How was army pensions paid in or around the 1900s?
        was there records kept of the payments to the pensioners? are they still in existence?
        I am trying to find the date of death of a royal artillery soldier and I was wondering if I find it by the above information
, assuming that the pension people was told of his death and his pension wans`t drawn after his death.
                        Thanks

Kent Lookup Requests / Re: death look up Henry john Smith
« on: Monday 27 August 07 17:58 BST (UK)  »
Thanks Nanny Jan for looking up on the f.m.d. . Henry appeared on the 1881 census living at 2 Prior St Greenwich, but Ihave not found him on the 1891 census, I realise there was alot of moving about in those days, the only possible clues I have is that he may have drowned in the Thames and he may have been a Freemason. I know there are year books held by the Masons dating back to the1700s, I have yet to investigate this possibility.
                       Regards
                               Kenith.

Kent Lookup Requests / death look up Henry john Smith
« on: Friday 24 August 07 21:15 BST (UK)  »
Could any one help with a death look up for Henry John Smith. He may have drowned in the Thames, he was supposedly a Mariner and lived in Greenwich. He was alive in 1881 and may have died before 1901.
                              Many thanks.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / drownings in the thames
« on: Friday 24 August 07 20:57 BST (UK)  »
Are there records that show people that died due to drowning in the thames, e.g river police? My man supposedly died in the late 1800s and short of checking all the London newspapers from that time I do not know what to look at------- any ideas?

Does anyone know the nickname Jagger and what does it refer to? It may have connections with the docks on the Thames.
