A.E.SETTERFIELD. Married twice, can't find death or divorce of first wife.

As a quick PS, is there any way of knowing if the two Sons were with her in Norwich before her death?

Hi if he was the one who served in the Royal Engineers, ( it looks it) as both marriages and children are on his Service Record, his Regimental Number was 87513 and he received a Mention in Dispatches, and received the Military Medal 8th November 1918 at Chatham.

PS the last page attached to his records I cannot at present work out, as it mentions a next of kin as a Gladys Dorothy Grabham 263, Parchmore Road, Thornton Heath ( wife) possibly)

EDIT just worked it out, the "last record" relates to another R E called Harry H Grabham so ignore!

Hi,

Medal index card states that he was A/Cpl in 39th D S Coy, Royal Engineers when he received/ was awarded the MM, also that the M I D is in the London Gazette of 23 Dec 1918 page 15042.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

Hi,

Here is link to the London Gazette page: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/31080/supplement/15042/data.pdf

It actually appears in the supplement to the London Gazette of 23rd December 1918. Your man is in the left hand column about half way down.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

I can't say how grateful I am for all of the info.

I thought the M.M. was a family myth, and a MID  to boot .

Impressed with the details of  Harriet. Really useful.  I fear I may become addicted to this!  Can anyone trace Edward and Frederick after their Mothers death? I'm fairly sure that they were not with their Father.

Once again thanks for everything.

Hi it may help the search as his Service Record states:-

Herbert Edward b 16th March 1913
Frederick William b 20th March 1915

Hi cannot at present locate Frederick W possibly in the Army?

Herbert E Setterfield married an Alice N Baker June qtr 1939 Croydon 2a 1614

Frederick William Setterfield born 20th March 1915 died March 1974 Sutton aged 59
Herbert Edward Setterfield born 16th March 1913 died November 1994 Croydon aged 81

But where they were/before/after their mother died, will be difficult to find I would say?
