Find Ancestors

Well at least his wife was easy, Freak. Glad i didn't get that as a surname. Thanks very much for all your help. I've got something to think about. Many thanks Wendy :-)

Bummer, no specialised occupation that would've helped us find him.

The wording is probably 2nd Batt (meaning Battalion) Oxford and Bucks LI. (yes, Light Infantry)

Ozi

Private2nd, Bath, Oxford and Bucks LI (is that light infantry) based at Cambridge Barracks Portsmouth. I'm not sure about 'Bath' the word is a bit blurred. thanks so much for you help Wendy

What was Frank's occupation on his marriage cert?

Ozi

Sorry about the confusion. I have Frank and Mable's marriage cert, which says that Franks father, Frederick Charles was a blacksmith in 1916, when Frank and Mable married. the only frederick Charles with a Frank the right age, I could find (in 1901 census) was born in brighton. I do remember Paddington being mentioned a lot when I was a child, but my parents weren't together for long.

The Charles F Taylor who married Helen, in 1871, different parents, if the birth and baptism is correct.

Frederick I think and was a blacksmith!

Who was born in Brighton, Frank or Frederick and who was a blacksmith? If Frederick was born in Brighton how do you know that? What other info have you got?

What was the other one's occupation?

If this is the same Charles F in 1901 it probably isn't the right one? According to the 1911 they had no children
