« on: Sunday 01 December 24 11:15 GMT (UK) »
I'm attempting to further research the siblings of my man Robert Davies,can someone tell me would his n.o.k. as shown have been entered on enlistment in 1899? as the handwriting seems to be different for this info.( Have I posted this in the right place?)

Thank you for responding CaroleW ,but I'm attempting to ascertain at what point in my man's 10 year service the information re his siblings was provided,so I can try to discover any surviving records from the institution concerned as I'm drawing a blank so far.

That address is a bit odd.  In the 1891 census there's an Olive Mount Lodge in Mill Lane, Wavertree (a Balmer family).  In the 1901 census there is 1 to 8 Olive Mount.

The 1900 directory shows 1 to 8 Olive Mount Villas in Mill Lane

The next of kin information probably dates from his attestation in 1897.  The rest of the information on that page would have been added over the course of his 12 years of service.

Thank you for your help ShaunJ, now I can search for that year (plus /minus) it may save me a lot of time,assuming the records for the institution still exist.

Why do you think it's an institution?
