Armed Forces / Re: Sergeant Major Charles Edward Nesbitt-Clarke
« on: Yesterday at 20:39 »
Jen,

To be honest, I can’t remember where I got that name from. I have been researching this family for a while, and this guy has driven me mad ! Perhaps I dreamt


I am now going to read the thread through again, perhaps something will jump out at me. I can’t remember where the birth in 1889, mother Lilian Nesbitt came from either…

Thank you for your input.

Thank You Shaun

I was just about to do that.
Just been reading all of his Military Records. I think it highly likely, that his wife was having an affair, and committed suicide because of it.
 I am really wanting to find his parentage

Back to the drawing board !

Hello all

Thank you so much for your responses. I don’t know where to start to reply ,

This is definitely my guy. His widow, Bertha, married Mr Hayward, very shortly after his death. Perhaps he committed suicide, because she was “carrying on “
I have met his son, Edward Stephen, who was born and baptised in The Workhouse in 1912. A delightful man. Long since deceased.

I am doing this because my grandson is confused. His father is the great grandson of Charles Edward, but he was adopted by his stepfather, so brought up with another name.

Thank you every one. Please bear with me, until I have perused all this info. I am 80 , so have to study every thing. The info about his sister is very interesting too. I never thought that my guy may also have been adopted/brought up under another name. I will be back!,

Armed Forces / Sergeant Major Charles Edward Nesbitt-Clarke

Hi There.
I am really at a brick wall with this gentleman. I just cannot find him before his marriage in 1908. The statements he gave at that time, come to nothing, so I am appealing to you guys ( and gals) for help.

This is what I have.
Charles Edward , committed suicide , whilst serving with The Army Service Corp, in 1915, at Weston-Super-Mare. From his grave, he is noted as Sgt Major, MS/1220

He married in 1908, stating his father was Ralph Clark , of independent means.
I want to find his birth, supposedly born 1884. December? Mother is supposedly Lily Nesbitt

I would really love to solve this. I am doing this for my grandson. I have been trying for months, so would appreciate any help at all. Would his service records state his parents, birth date ? I got all my information from Ancestry.

Thank, in desperation.

Technical Help / How to get the correct name in a diagram
« on: Sunday 22 June 25 13:13 BST (UK)  »
Hello There

I am using family historian to build my trees. Never had this problem before.

In the person named, my computer went wild, and in the name space , I now have many, many brackets . My fault, I have probably touched the keypad and yippee, there they are. I just cannot budge them. I have 8 rows of them.
 I have tried to replace the diagram box, by cancelling/deleting it and replacing it, but I am not  having any joy at all…..Help

Galway / Re: Edward Kilroy 1815
« on: Friday 20 June 25 05:18 BST (UK)  »
Thank you ALL for your responses

It seems I had the correct Edward Kilroy (from familsearch.org)
 I found his son’s baptism, William in 1845 and James in 1854.

I have traced the family back, from my friends father ,born Bangalore in 1940.
I am quite positive about that. I just wanted to clarify that Edward was the head of this Army dynasty!
 From Edward down, all Barry’s direct male ancestors, were born and served in India……. But he thought they had originated in Mayo, and he is going there in July!

He knows nothing at all about his family’s history. He is going to get a real surprise when I give him the tree I have done . Super

Thank you all again

Galway / Edward Kilroy 1815
« on: Thursday 19 June 25 21:54 BST (UK)  »
Hello

Can anyone help me please.

I am looking for Edward Kilroy, born 1815, and baptised at St Nicholas  Galway
 
I know he served in the Army in India, until he died in 1871.
He married Margaret ? But have not been able to find a marriage for them. Perhaps they married at home, before he went to India.

Any information greatly appreciated

JeannieR
