World War One / Royal Field Artillery, 1097 Battery
« on: Thursday 26 April 18 19:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi
Any advice on how I may find any additional information on the following would be welcome:

I recently found my grandfather, Wilfred Adams, on a Leeds Absent Voters List showing that he was serving 222949 GWR Royal Field Artillery, 1097 Battery. I have so far not found his service record, or enrolment record. He survived the war but died in 1939 before I was born

Any additional information or advice on further research regarding the meaning of GWR or the 1097 Battery, in addition as to how I may locate his service history would be welcome

Thank you jack1601

Occupation Interests / Law Clerk
« on: Thursday 03 November 16 21:28 GMT (UK)  »
I have been trying to find any information relating to Law Clerks in the early 1900s.

My grandfather is shown on the 1911 Census with occupation Law Clerk (aged 21) living in Holbeck, Leeds
What type of qualifications would he have needed for this occupation and how long would his training have been? He died long before I was born, so very little information got passed down about his early education or training.

Any help would be appreciated

Whitgift - 29 July 1805

Admiral Hanson, Sailor, taken up in River Ouse.

FindMyPast - same wording in BTs and the parish record

Hi BumbleB

Thank you very much for this. I assume it means he must have drowned in the river Ouse.

The information is much appreciated. Also a thank you to others who have responded including Frank. Yes, I did have the birth record

Any idea what Admiral Hanson's first name was - or was it actually Admiral?

Hi, it was actually Admiral and he was born in Rothwell (Fleet Mill) in 1767. He had children born in Selby, one named Thomas Hanson became a mariner. I suspect that Admiral Hanson worked on the river Ouse.

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) Lookup Requests / Whitgift Yorkshire Burial 1805
« on: Saturday 18 July 15 19:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I am unsure if Whitgift was in East or West Yorkshire in 1805.

I am trying to find any details of one of my ancestors named Admiral Hanson, who I believe may have died in 1805, probably at Whitgift, Yorkshire

Any help appreciated
