World War Two / Re: 42nd Royal Tank Regiment
« on: Sunday 28 April 13 12:44 BST (UK)  »
Hi

My Father was also with C Sqd 42RTR and I also have a group photo of C Sqd with the Pyramids and Sphinx in the background. I looks like he was serving with your Grandfather at the same time. He was also in NW Europe until 42RTR was disbanded and he was re-assigned to 1st East Riding Yeomary in November 1944. He was a Tank driver of Matilda's and Grants and also was a driver for the CDL. He was driving the DUKW's in the first wave of attack over the Rhine.
Can we connect privately, I am happy to share the photo's of my Father, I have some smaller group photo's and maybe your Grandfather is on those. His name was John (Jack) Hurlstone

My Father served with the 42nd RTR from July 1942 with the MEF and then in North West Europe from 12 August until 14 November when it was disbanded and he joined up with the 1st East Riding Yeomanry.

Would appreciate any information.

Dorset / Re: CHILDS of Melbury Osmond
« on: Wednesday 28 October 09 18:38 GMT (UK)  »
My 3x Grandfather, Benjamin Hurlstone (1803 - 1879) was born, married and died in Melbury Osmond. He married HANNAH CHILDS on 23 September 1823 at St Osmonds Church.

In the 1851 census for Melbury Osmond  Hannah is recorded as born in Sherborne and was 53 years old which gives a birth date of 1798. The 1841 census for Melbury Osmond states her age as 45 years old which gives a birth date of 1796.

However, I have been totally unable to find any Hannah Childs born in or around Sherborne.......is there anyone out there who may have some information regarding Hannah's birth and parents.

Regards
Jeff
