Do you think someone would know where Patrick's regiment was in 1881?

It is a possibility as Patrick was in the Royal Artillery however it was, and is, a large regiment and would have been spread about. I have a friend who is ex-RA and who is eligible to join the RA Historical Society but in all likelihood it will be a case of going to Kew and looking for Patrick's army record. From my experience of looking at Cedric's army record, they contain quite a lot of information about postings as well as next of kin, so it might well shed some light on what he got up to and some additional family info.

BAKER            Staffordshire, India, Bengal, (1880's)

LAMING            England, Dover      
SHEPPARD         England, Fenton, Stoke on Trent, Coventry, Warwickshire
BOURKE             Ireland (early 1800's) Merthyr, London, India/Burma

There is still plenty left to find out about William and Helena's children. Philip and Cedric are now pretty well done, but there is only early information of Frederick and very little about the Laura and Mabel.

I think that the best source of information for William and Helena is going to be in the army officer applications for Ced and Fred as this would have fairly thorough information regarding background and parentage. I know that Ced's is on file with the LDS but I have never tried to access anything from them.
