Hi there, a relative gave me his findings on my family tree and it goes back as far as 1806, what i would like to know is what's my nexy step in order to search back further?

the last names on the tree are James Warburton who married Alice Foster on the 6th October 1806 in Chorley


would appreciate any help or advice

many thank

recieved email from manchester library regarding electoral roll for the MGC soldiers address and it's not the Thomas Dawson that i was looking for .

along with some on rootschat, 14-18 war foum, and staffordshire regiment museum(emailed them the photo of him)
they all come to the same conclusion that the badge is North Staffordshire. but as for the uniform, the guy at the museum thinks it's ww1 after 1908. others have suggested boer war possibly.

as Andycand said, if his marriage cert says 2nd cheshire reg 1902 then it's possible he may have been in the boer war with the cheshire reg who had not long returned, so i need to find out if ther is a list of men who served with the 2nd cheshire's during the boer war and it may lead to the elusive service number.

as for the best way of going about this, well that i need to think about, any suggestions would be greatly received.


cheers

i notice that the 1881 census says he was born in Ireland, but the SDGW says he was born in workington,
is this just a mistake by sdgw?

many thanks
