OK, have tried to PM you the 3 images which are legible but I'm not sure if they have gone through. You won't find him in 1901 as he was posted to Africa on 28/2/1900 - so presumably to the Boar war.

If the images don't come through PM your e-mail address & I'll send that way.

Kathleen,

Thanks for looking for him..

I have searched the boer war amnd other army on FMP but he is nowhere on there.

Looks like I am going to have to leave him for now and go back to him later.

Thanks
Sue

I can't find him anywhere. Is it possible that he was in the army and away in the Boer War? This could be a reason why he ended up in the south as it is where some of the troops would come back to after the war (my grandfather did and married in Farnham, Surrey).
