I cannot find a birth for Robert in Exeter-so maybe he was born Ireland. Still don't get the F M bit thoiugh-and I can't find a marriage for Robert and Lucy. think I'll give up for now!

Thanks all-yes the family you found Henry and his 3rd wife (Yes thrird!) is my family-I was rather hoping that Rivhard may connect somehow as Henry was in the Indian army-he married his first wife abroad-then returned and had loads more and children.

Strange that Richard is disappeared though-i reckon they have been badly mistranscribed and are down as something odd-Will get to the library when I can and check the streets, rather than names ,where they should be street by street-Thanks for alll your help.


1881

Robert?-but he says he was born Ireland!

He's a master mariner though-so would possible account for Richard and Frederick being absent-maybe they were away on a boat somewhere?

can anyone see Frederick Bertram in 1891 or 1901-just wondereded if he was around-if they were both missing maybe they were abroad-the Father being in the army?-several of mine served in India in the British Indian Army (Royal sussex regiment)-just a thought

Familyfinder

Familyfinder Report 29 May 2009 11:21

Thanks yes-Found the army records first!-Thats what allerted me to him-I've covered most of the Strongs from Exeter and have the family groupings-but not him before-Seems odd he's not obvious-Someone very kindly sent me the details of his army record last night-he only last 46 days! he was sent home as 'unfit' to serve in the army as he decieved people and disappeared for 4 days! love to be able to fit him in with mine-he'd liven them all up a bit!!

Can't find him on 1891 or 1901
have found army records though. have you seen those?

Familyfinder

Familyfinder Report 29 May 2009 11:14

Seems odd-when he died in 1934-they had dropped the F M bit-just registered as Richard Frederick Strong-age 50.

Familyfinder

Familyfinder Report 29 May 2009 11:13

I don't know what it stands for! He was living at Preston Street Exeter in 1914 ish-so guesssing he's probably the same area (I have strongs there already) but as to which group he belongs I'm not sure .
