Travelling People / Re: Any help appreciated, Carey, Hedges, Lewis and Bragg
« on: Saturday 06 April 24 16:20 BST (UK)  »
Hello, although this message trail is somewhat old now, I wondered if anyone had more information about Elias Carey mentioned further up. I believe he was my great grandmother's cousin (Unity Lee nee Parker). I think I have a photograph of him in WW1 uniform and I wondered if there was any family recollection of him serving in the Labour Corps. It's a long shot, but it would be great if anyone could help me put the final pieces of the puzzle together.

World War One / Re: Help with Uniform Identification for Two WW1 Soldiers

Thank you for your help Tony,

Written on the back of the second photo is Pte E Carey, and the only E Carey in my family tree that I have found so far is Elias Carey. There are no service records, but there is a Private Elias Carey on the Medal Roll who served in the Labour Corps number 524372. the cap badge is not very clear in the original, but I think it could be a shield with animals either side as shown for the later badge in your link.

Thanks again,
Lucy

World War One / Help with Uniform Identification for Two WW1 Soldiers

I have a collection of photographs from my great grandmother. Among them were 2 photographs of men in WW1 uniform. I am trying to identify them and it would be a great help to confirm their regiments. I think the younger man is wearing an East Surrey Regiment uniform while the older gentlemen may be wearing the uniform of the Labour Corps.

Hi Waynus, I'll keep trying to find out who is in the photos and let you know if any of them are of Louisa or Unity. Sorry, I don't have any of Fred or Unity either. Lousia was living at 'The Homestead' on Molesey Road, Hersham when she died. I know that her daughter Rosie Deakins married Ben Eastwood and they had a daughter also called Rosie. Rosie Eastwood married Thomas Penfold. All the best and I hope you do find the pictures, Lucy.

Hi Waynus, my grandmother’s name was Winifred Ellen Bird, her parents were John and Mabel Bird. They travelled in Kent but I think they had connections with the Mitcham area. John was Frank Bird's brother. My nan was not related to Charlie or Louisa Marney, but she went to live with them when her own mother died. I am not certain if the couple in the photograph are Charlie and Louisa, I was hoping to find someone who might recognise them.

Hi Waynus, Frank Bird was my nan's uncle. When her mother died my nan went to live with Charlie and Lousia Marney (who had previously been married to Abraham Deakins). They lived in Deburgh Road, South Wimbledon. The Marneys travelled in Kent during WW2 and finally settled in Walton-on-Thames close to the River Mole at Fieldcommon Lane. I have some photos from 1939 of my nan and maybe some James/Marney/Deakins from the Mitcham area. Not sure who the people are in the photographs other than my nan who is in the middle of the group photo. I think the couple might be Charlie and Lousia - let me know if you recognize anyone.
