not sure if this is the place to ask but does anyone know if there is a site you can check by name for service history for this regiment? I'm hoping this chaps name is Samuel Hemphill he would have been 17 in 1903 and this guy looks about that age. He was born here in Australia but his parents are from Ireland and his dad went back in the late 1800's. I've lost all track of Samuel and can't find any records of him here in Australia so i'm thinking this might be him.

Thanks in advance
Melissa

his parents names were Jane and John Hemphill mothers maiden name was caldwell sometimes seen as Cromwell originally from Antrim but immigrated to Australia in 1878. there was 4 boys John born 1882 James born 1884 Samuel born 1886 and George born 1888. All the other boys i have found here in Australia but Samuel disappeared in 1897 when he was placed on a reformatory ship called the Sobraon. His parents divorced and his father supposedly moved back to Ireland so maybe he moved there to live with him

also do you think that this boy is the same one in the other photo i have on here with the boy with the umbrella? i think they look alike enough to be related but not sure if they are the same person or not.
thanks for all your help and sorry to ask so many questions  :)

The other one is at least 10 years earlier & maybe longer so I can't see how they can be brothers.
