Hi Alamo2008
Sorry, I have been offline for some time now and have only just seen your post.
Yes yes, I would love to have that Certificate as part of my extended family history.
If you could post the original to me that would be terrific. Details:

Many many thanks for your help and good luck with your continued search.
Regards
Diana

Lovely to hear from another 'cousin'.

Perhaps you could drop me a personal email with your phone number and we could have a chat as we are both in Australia. Jackaroo and I have met and exchanged information on the McLeans/Kinghorns.
Would love to know if you have more....

Armed Forces / 1st Lancaster Vols. - who were they?
« on: Friday 20 June 08 11:31 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know where I can find information on the 1st Lancaster Vols. from the early 1860's to mid 1870's?
or put me in touch with a military group who may have info from that far back?
My gggrandfather, Heywood Chapman, was involved for 13 years prior to his move to NZ. He then joined the Permanent Militia in Auckland where his personnel records indicate he was part of the 1st Lancaster Vols. (which I presume means volunteers???).

Was it a private shooting and drill club?
or were they part of the military?

thanks so much ShaunJ
Not at all sure what the British and foreign fruiterer and Italian warehouseman means - he was a Liverpudlian(?) thru and thru!

I have had a bit of fun today going thru the Gore's directories and I'm sure I will have more questions later.

Cheers

thanks
do you think this means he had 3 businesses?
A fruit and refreshment rooms at 18 Duke St, a shop in James St, AND a biscuit bakery in Moor Street???

I know he lived in James St in 1851 and Duke St in 1861. But this is the first time I have heard of Moor Street - any idea where it is?

Thanks Al
It was 213 Grey Road, Walton on the Hill. Looks like a residential area.
Do you have anything else?
Any idea where their confectionery business would have been with all the changes in address?
