Hi List I am trying to find my husband's great grandfather Joseph KING born 1869 Billington, Bedfordshire. He is recorded on 1881 Census 12 years.Cottages Swan Street, Ivinghoe, Buckinghamshire, England PRO ref RG1/1644 Folio 34 Page 3 FHL film but not on the 1891 and 1901 Census. I presume he was still alive by then as he had a daughter Hilda Sybil KING born 18th January 1903.. Two sons prior to this - Albert F. KING born abt 1898 and Ernest abt. 1900. (both sons killed on the WW2 - unable to locate Albert F. KING death details) Wife: Suzanna(h) BIERTON married 31st May 1897in the Parish Church of Pitstone, Co. Bucks, England His parents are Charles KING born abt 1845 Billington, Bedfordshire, England and Mary Ann...... Would somebody be able to check Military Records to see if JOSEPH KING is recorded between 1891 and 1904. I am not too familiar with what Wars may have been active at that time. Maybe BOER WAR records. There was some talk that he went to India with the Boer War. We have checked Census records with out success. He is recorded deceased 18-May-1918 on his daughters marriage certificate. Thanks Mary Linning Australia
HI Mary, Regret I cannot help with military searches. Boer War was in South Africa and Britain Had a lot of Army presence in India. I have 3 Kings in my list of names if you ever make any connections. Frances King married George Favell in Pertenhall N Beds 1732 Lucy King b Hemmingford Grey, Huntingdon in 1804, daughter of a John King and she married a John Favell. Good luck with your research.
