New Zealand / Re: N A Smeal Regimental Sargeant Major WW1
« on: Tuesday 25 November 25 22:53 GMT (UK) »
Thanks for all your replies, I have been handed a 'Scrap Book' of his from WW1 that came to the Warkworth Museum via our Op Shop and I trying to locate any living relatives. It contains a number of photographs and reading through what service records there are he spent time at Camp SLing and was also in France.

Am looking for information on the above, originally from Ekatahuna and moved, to Auckland after WW1
I believe he served in WW2 but as yet have no information on his service. He died in Auckland
TIA Alan

Thanks to all those answers above, this has been an interesting search and have only recently got back on to it. A bit of a red herring for me in a way as he is quite far of the tree from the line I am following he is the son of Harriet Britton who in turn is the daughter of my GG Grandfather And the boy was 'born out of wedlock'. we found him in the 1881 in Hoo with his grandfather and shown as "Grandson" and again in the 1891 census were he is listed as Ag Lab.
A revisit out of curiosity turned ap the incorrect marriage to AM Whitecross in 1905 and his presence on Mauritius in the 1911 census. Not sure how he got there as the Royal Fusilier's website states that the 3rd Brigade was stationed in India prior to WW1 and went from there to France when war broke out. the battalion was subsequently disbanded in 1945 at the end of the war.
Another and hopefully final revisit a couple of weeks ago as a result of a passing comment to my boss at our local museum has resulted in revealing some of the above but added more, it creates more questions than answers.
I did find an entry in the 1939 register of a Robert Britton and Agnes M Britton in East Kirby Notts, but recent finds has eliminated him.
Thanks for your help, but still interested in finding a date of death if possible

I have tracked Robert and his wife to Bermuda in the early 1920's
I have details of a daughter travelling to and from New York in 1945-46-47 and 48 supposedly for work but with the exception of the first visit they were all of 3 weeks. Her occupation is shown as Milliner.
The family had previously been in South Africa and Mauritius and were there in the 1911 census.
The address is shown as Pembroke in Mauritius.
Hoping for any information on death or burial notices it doesn't appear as if the records are availble online

Hmm
Seems a bit old to be fathering a child some 20 years later??
He was not married to the mother.

The book gives only brief details of the 6 martyrs and only a couple of the 85 pages in all but there is a lot of information on the social and agricultural activities of the village from the Doomsday book times up to the mid 1900s. a map of the village showing were various farms and houses were and there occupiers, details of censuses and names of many of the people living there

I have rescued from one of our local op shops the following book
"An account of the Village of Tolpuddle, Dorset from early times" by Audrey Wirdnam.
If you would like it I am happy to pass it on fro the cost of the postage.
I have a granddaughter in the UK and pyment can be made via her.
Regards
Alan.
(I was hoping there may have been some reference to the Voss connection of my Maternal line.)
