Dear all,
I have attached a draft list of MIC cards that I hold and have previously researched
1: This is a draft version and requires a lot more work, but is Ok for basing additional research work, or using to reject or confirm possible candidates.
2: Some of the Christian names appear to be a long way from A E or Albert Edward, a good example is Sydney Albert, this is the name given to AEH's first son and there are other similar excursions that I have taken over the years. There are some name excursions that haven't made the list, for example the surname Miller, AEH's mother's maiden name. The experts suggest that many men who change their names use their mother's maiden names.
3: The TNA MIC card downloadable records come as a set-of-six. Some of the names in this spread-sheet are part of those sets-of-six, the additional names have sometimes become of interest because of numerous factors
4: Some of the names will appear to be the same and arn't. Some actually are the same people who have multiple TNA files with different file numbers, obviously, multiple MIC's??
As I built the list, which was from several sources, there were obvious similarities between some men, I have removed as many as I could without wrecking the integrity of the data
5: Some of the men on this list have issues with the spelling of their Harrison surname and this is borne out in the London Gazette also. I will make some more of this issue later on with spelling permutations such as Harrinson, Harrisson, Harris etc
5: Most importantly, I don't believe that the MIC cards are enough on their own to determine a man's identity, this list certainly does show what I hold and to some degree some of the men's details, if any of them appear interesting I can send them on.
I have started a list of London Gazette entries which are quite interesting and will have these finished ASAP
Cheers
Ian
