You should start by saying what information you have e.g. birth, parents, siblings etc.?

EDIT

Not seeing any surviving military records on Ancestry for him.

Yes 1898 could be correct as I have had two dates I think she was also wed twice before

rootgatherer

rootgatherer Report 2 Nov 2012 23:22

Wed twice before she married Arthur?

Janice

Janice

Janice Report 2 Nov 2012 23:28

Previous marriages don't fit in with the marriage entry above, and she seems to have died a Howard.
