With the good fortune of the UK being quite a few hours behind, I decided to push my luck and ask the researcher if she could possibly look for a will for Hilda Grant (nee Seale). Which she generously did. Nothing for her or George. That brick wall is getting high again!!!!!!

Hi Betty,
The last we have on Robert Edward SEALE is the purchase of his discharge in 1907 on the exact day as Colin SEALE, both forms being signed by the same officer. Both Robert and Colin joined on the same day and have consecutive service numbers. Colin's file having in red "Duplicate".
Is there any way of finding further detail about this 'purchased' discharge? as this may show the reason for the discharge and may reveal more info on the connection between Robert and Colin.

CoL

EDIT: As Betty correctly ponted out "Robery Henry SEALE"

Nope, Betty, it is not something any of us can do, except we could suggest to our Moderator (Sarah) that it could be a consideration for the owners (Sarah and Trystan) of the website for 'next upgrade'.   ;D

CoL is it worth asking your wonderful Army buffs if they have resources to search this out?

Betty,
You may need to push your luck once again and ask the above researcher, as we need some experts in UK to assist with this challenge.

Lorna was born about 1930. She left India in 1948 to go to England, and to try and find her father. In the meantime she stayed with a Mr and Mrs RP Grant. (I'm not sure if they are related to George Grant who had married Hilda Seale in 1917).

Did you have a suburb or address for R P GRANT on the documents?

If it was in the London area, I can see one Robert P. (which turns out to be for P ercy, I think) GRANT in the London area..

There is information about this chap which I have dug up, but not worth publishing here unless we think the name on the document was actually Robert or have an address for the documented man and wife.
