Hello Adeline,
Many thanks for the information which is very useful. The National Archives does have some details but I must admit I was totally confused when it came to ordering a copy since it says there could be hundreds of pages and you need to select. Without seeing it how do you select what you want.
Many thanks once again.

Hello Reggie,
Thankfully that was not his job. James was Emmanuel's son and was a Rope Inspector probably at one of the coal mines around Abernant.
Thanks
Paul

Paul, Have pm'ed you regarding service records.

Regards Vera

Yes, Paul, I know that....having taking the trouble to check the image. LOL!

Hello Vera,
I've replied to your PM.
Many thanks
Paul

Reggie, I had visions of fields of yellow :-)

Hello All,
Thanks to the help and assistance offered by members I now have my answer for Emmanuel and now would be interested in any details on James and his family who emigrated to Australia in 1912 - 1913 if possible.
Many thanks
Paul

There are six trees on A with extensive info. Do you have access?

Jude

Hello Jude,
Yes, I have access to Ancestry but none of the tree owners have the facts that I am looking for. We are in touch with each other.
Thanks
Paul
