william hart

[bbcitv]

william hart born 1845 (ish) Kew Surrey on 1891 census, haven't been able to find his birth, anyone else looking? He married Charlotte and lived in York

[wozzle]

i see on the 1881 census he was down as born richmond,surrey
have you tried to follow him back through the censuses
i see in 1881 he was a sergeant in the 4th royal irish dragoon guards

[wozzle]

going by the birthplace of charlotte and the birthplace of the eldest child william i take it they married in ireland?

[wozzle]

the reg dist for kew is richmond
there is no william hart birth regd in this dist near the date of birth given the nearest is 1838
before 1875 it was estimated that between 6%-10% of births were not registered maybe your william was amongst that percentage?

yes they married in Dublin, any ideas for tracing though army records@

you could put a posting on the armed forces board on rootschat
there are some very knowledgeable people on rootschat who specialise in those sort of look ups

Hi bbcitv

You have posted your topic on the Surrey Look Up Offers board. Do you wish me to move the topic to either the main Surrey board or the Surrey Look Up Board?

Also see this previous topic on what appears to be the same man.
