Dear List, I have asked this question before and would like to know if the name William CLAY has turned up on and searches. His full name was William George Richard CLAY and served in the in the Special Service Volunteer in the 85th Battery in the FA as a Farrier. I have look for his info in quite a lot of places but still cannot find him. I know the 85th Battery came out to SA on the Manchester Port from Tilbury Dock. I would like to know what his number was (if possible). He did not die in the Boer War as he went on to stay in South Africa and had a family. He married in 1906 in Kimberley to Isabella Johanna DE JONGH and they had 5 sons. Please if any kind person can assist me in more info on him I would be most grateful.
