So that would explain the Green sister with sister Burford . I'm interested in the Burford line & cant quite yet fit this in but it has to fit somewhere ! With regards to surgeons this maynot be of any help but the Burford family in Banbury were surgeons .

No idea I'm afraid. he was born in 1893 , so should have been the right age to fight. But I only knew him when he was an old man & I was a child, so no idea what he'd got up to before he married into our family.

Some help needed to identify this man : Its a Royal Artillery unifom which has been dated to between 1870 & 1890's. He isnt the man I thought it was & so was wondering whether anyone could advise whether he could be Frederick William Jones who was b around 1859 (give or take 5 yrs) in Aldby Norfolk. He was my Gt grandfather & I cant find him in the 1891 census, so it is possible he may have been abroad with the army ? . He was born with the surname of Sones ( which does vary in spelling for a few census) but he also went by the name of Jones, which is the name he married with & all the family are called Jones . FWJ parents were William & Lucy Sones however. He dies in 1905 and in the 1901 census is showing as a Coachman in Kensington, London.
Can anyone also hazzard a guess at what is over the pocket of the jacket looks like a couple of something white
?

Hi,
Sorry , yes it was Bethnall Green . Thanks for the information . How can you tell he was always in the lifeguards/household cavalry , rather than just during the SA War ?? Are you able to tell when he joined up & left ?? & whether he left due to retirement ??

I'm trying to track down information on 2nd Trooper 1509 Thomas Williams Burford ( 1867-1940), who serviced in the South African war & was apparently awarded 2 medals.
I also have a photo which is supposed to be of him but the uniform is all wrong & shows a sergeant of the Royal Artillery, so am wondering whether he may have transferred between regiments at sometime. Hopefully if there were any records out there it may confirm this.
There is also an Acting Corp T W Burford in WW1 medal cards, its unlikely its the same man but I do have a relative who was in France & well over 40, so i guess its possible that a career army man could still have been playing a small part.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I've just found my step grandfather's membership book to the Co-Partnership scheme dated 10 Aug 1915. I have no idea whether he may be mentioned in the book you have . Would you be able to check for me ? His name was Archibald Thomas Joyce . Thanks
