George

Edits on the original image he states his father is John Bawden, also names his brothers Edward , Henry, Stanley, plus another cant quite read it


There are three batches of his records, one states he was discharged for lying about his age on enlistment.

anorther states he was bought out of the army.


I can send you the images if the right man

Thanks for this information.
The army Info sounds as though it is him. His Father John became a Baker as did many of the children including my Grandmother Laura. He definately has brothers Edward, Henry and Stanley.

I would love the images if you can send them.
Not sure how you send them do you need my e mail address or something?

Jayne

I will send the images through the PM system, i will follow up to check you have them ok.

George

Edit

Will have to send one at a time

Jayne

Ive now swent the 12 images, they should be in your inbox, if not let me know, might have to do it by the normal email method.

George

Thanks George
Have received them all. Brilliant

Having read the Military Records which are great, I see that Alfred was discharged 24th May 1900.

I wonder why I still can't find him on the 1901 census? any help gratefully received.

??????? EDIT wrong Bawden. Can't find Julia Elizabeth with Alfred's father, John
