Many thanks for putting an idiot right. Much appreciated and I will look again.

I should have believed what people were telling me.

I will get onto the Regiment in the hope they will be able to help me further.

Many thanks

Hi all,

I wonder if anybody can help.
My Grandma's first husband was
Walter Ernest Ever(r)ett born Ipswich 1897 and he served in World War 1 in the 4th Suffolk Regiment. After the war he was admitted to the Star and Garter Home 1926 and was also treated at the Queen Alexandra Hospital , Cosham 1926.

He died in 1932 of Multiple Sclerosis.
In the information from the RSGH it was advised he was awarded the Military Medal.

Unfortunately despite having this information I cannot find him anywhere in the online records.

Help would be very much appreciated.

You wouldn't believe how wrong the marriage was and how right the rest of your info was.
It led me on a terrific journey

Thank you

Hi all

I wonder if this is appropriate  :-[because I could just order the cert, but as it is a side branch of my tree I am reluctant unless I have too.

If anybody could help or give me guidance on how to unravel this I would be most grateful.

My ancestor Arthur Richard Harris married Louisa Holloway at Croydon Surrey 4th qtr 1904 Volume 2a 605.

In the 1911 census they were living in Croydon and had two children Leslie Arthur and Frances Hilda. His wife was still called Louisa and she was born 1878 Leicester. When Arthur Richard died in 1949 in the will he left his money to Harriet Louisa Harris !!! However on checking her will when she died aged 83 in 1961 she left the money to Leslie Arthur and Frances Hilda so it looks like Louisa Holloway and Harriet Louisa Harris are the same people.

However on looking back I cannot find either Harriet Louisa Holloway or Louisa Holloway  on any census so perhaps she was married before 1904 to someone else.

I am hoping details which will help unravel the mystery will be found on marriage cert if somebody here has access to it. If not any help would be greatly appreciated.
