Thanks everyone for all the info - it certainly gives me a lot more to look into!  The parents were Matthew and Susannah Sullivan from West Derby, Liverpool.

A 21 yr old 5'2" bushman with a saddle nose certainly conjures a picture and sounds like one of my lot!  Any clues what a bushman did?!

Hi Lilybell - thanks for posting the link, but I think it is broken.  It takes me to British Military records on Ancestry - can I do a search for it?

Wow - that was quick!  Yes, Karen, it is Fred (also known as Charles) and Matthew.  I think another brother, Thomas, was also sent seperately, but I haven't looked into that at all yet.  I know the ship (Corsican) and the date that Fred and Matthew arrived (July 1912), but would like to find any info about them from then on if possible.

Many thanks

Canada / British Home Children - Sullivan (1912)

Hi - can anyone tell me if there is a way to trace what happened to British Home Children after they arrived in Canada please.  As they travelled over in 1912 there is no census information available yet.  Any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks very much

World War One / Re: George Callard - WW1

Hi Ady

I don't think so.  I understand he had burns on his legs, but as I know he worked in the civil service for many years after the war up to retirement and I remember him as being fairly fit as an elderly man, I wouldnt imagine they would have been bad enough ....  I'm presuming they would have had to be pretty terrible to get him discharged.

Thanks for your help

Thanks very much for that.

If I can rule that George out, is it too much of a leap to assume that the other George is the right one?  Could there be other missing medal cards for example?

Thanks very much for your help

World War One / George Callard - WW1
« on: Sunday 25 September 11 17:26 BST (UK)  »
Hi there - sorry, but this is a really basic question. 

George Callard (born 1898 in Great Ayton, Yorkshire), served in the army during WW1.  He was injured, but survived.

I have found two medal cards for this name, but as I don't know which Regiment he was with or his service number, I don't know how to identify which one is the one I'm looking for as they don't contain much info. 

Are there any other WW1 records which, for example, give a date of birth, address, or next of kin which might help sort out which one is my George?

Thanks for any help
Maisie
