This is my first post to this list, so hello everyone. I'm looking for help in identifying the right line of my gggf John Horsley who was born in the Driffield area in 1848. He was born in 1848, married Sarah Bogg, was a railway signalman according to both the 1881 and 1901 censuses, and their children were (at least) Thomas, Annie and Charles (my ggf born 1881). According to both the above census returns, he was born in Beeford near Driffield, but I can't find a definite match for his birth or his parents. The search is complicated by the fact that there's another John also born 1848 in Scarborough, and by the fact that the nearest I can find to a John born in Beeford is one born c. 1848 in Kirkburn Grange (in the 1871 census he's living with his parents John & Elizabeth at the same place), but that's on the other side of Driffield and while they're not poles apart they're several miles and I'm not confident it's the right John. Of course, he might have believed he was born in Beeford and was actually born in Kirkburn, or his parents might have put KB instead of Beeford for some other reason, but at the moment I'm stumped! I'm hoping someone on here might share the same family and can point me in the right direction! Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Everyone Just reposting some of the info that I sent a few weeks back. Just to let you know that there is still some accommodation available for the 2nd week from July 12-19th. The first week is fully booked. Please let us know ASAP if you may be interested in attending any part of our event or if you would like additional info. You do not have to take part in any of our program, maybe you would just like to book a room for the 90 UK pounds and do your own thing, visit, sightseeing, etc. You cannot get a better bargain for accommodation. For more info, please check out the website: http://www.yorksgen.com/ Follow the links to the 2008 Get Together. A lot of you have probably heard about the event that we have held every 2 years in York since 2000. This year it is named Yorksgen 2008 and it is from Saturday July 5 to Saturday July 19th. We have room on the 2nd week from July 12-19th. It is a chance for people from all over the world who have an interest in researching their family tree to visit the land where their ancestors came from. We have people coming from Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Germany, Canada, USA, Scotland and England. This is not part of a commercial event, its just some ordinary people trying to put this together and not for a profit. We stay in student houses near York University. A short bus ride into York. Within walking distance to Borthwick where a lot of the records are held. Each house has 10 single bedrooms, each with bed, wardrobe, desk, sink. Shared facilities include a large well equipped kitchen where we often get together for a lot of fun times. Coin laundry within a couple minutes walk. Store nearby. Charles X11 Pub nearby which is a great spot to get together for a meal, a drink, and social gathering. There is no set program that anyone has to follow. Use the facilities to sleep and do your own thing. Go to the different Archives within Yorkshire. There is a program that has been set but it is up to each individual if they want to participate in any, part, or all of it. The program includes talks, walks, trips and tours and is again based on the cost. Take a look at www.yorksgen.com and follow the links for this event. Don't worry if you are solo as many of the attendees are solo. Don't worry about your age. My mother-in-law Dorothy is coming for the 5th time and she is 83 years old. Don't worry if you don't know anyone. There are lots of new people that come each time and everyone is made to feel welcome and does feel welcome. The cost for accommodation is 90 pounds per week, a price you cannot beat. If you have an interest or would like more information about this event, please contact me offlist. Janet Lovegrove

PICKERING, FREDERICK WILLIAM Nationality: United Kingdom Regiment/Service: King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry Unit Text: 10th Bn. Date of Death: 25/09/1916 Thanks for any help Deirdra :

Dear Deirdra, and List, It is interesting that you mention Ireland in relation to your Great Grandfather's brothers...It would make sense that their Regiment would have gone to Ireland first, before embarking for Ports unknown...because in fact, it is known that the Y&L Regiment was sent to Limerick, Ireland before being sent to France...my uncle Arthur Dixon, actually fell from his horse and was hospitalized in Limerick for awhile before leaving for France, according to his War records... conicidently, my Great Grandmother Catherine was from a family named 'McKay'. McKague variously spelt Mc Hague on one Census... Catherine McKay's parents' were born in Ireland, although Catherine was born in Sheffield. I have so far been unable to find any record for her parents in Ireland... My 2Xs Great Grandfather James McKay was a 'Cooper by Trade' and was born in 1798 in County Sligo, Ireland. He emmigrated to Sheffield later on. His wife's name was Mary Radigham, or Redieau, born Sligo... cannot find any trace of either one...their eldest son John, was also born in Sligo according to the later censuses from Sheffield...however, I digress... Back to the Y&L Regiment... Here is an account of the embarkation for the Y&L Regiment from Ireland to France... The 2nd Battalion of the Y&L was a part of the 6th Division and the Battalion was stationed at Limerick, Ireland, prior to going to France. At 1p.m. on the 7th August, the 2nd Battalion left by Train in 2 parties for Southhampton. They embarked in the ship 'The Minneapolis' in Company with the 1st Battalion, sailing at 11.45 A.M. on the 8th of August for an unknown destination. The Medal Rolls mention that the brothers entered the 'Theatre of War' on the 9th 9 (sep) 1914". The Minneapolis was assigned to the 'Atlantic Transport Fleet' This Fleet was organized in 1881 by one 'Bernard Baker' of the 'Baltimore Storage and Lighterage Co.,' this was an American Co., but was effectively British operated. For economic reasons the Fleet sailed under the British Flag, hence it was in Southhampton in 1914.. The ship was built in 1900 and at the beginning of the War was used as a British Transport Ship, in 1916, it was torpedoed and sunk. The Minneapolis reached the Port of St. Nazaire soon after 5p.m. on the 9th of August. It took until 8. 30 p.m. to complete the disembarkation of the troops. They were then marched 2 miles and camped at Grand Marais. They spent 36 houirs there... I will see if I can find out anything more about your relatives, and will let you know if I find anything more than Mary or Jennifer found. It would appear from what was posted, that Frederick William was killed in 1916 about two years after my uncle in October 1914... The Medal Rolls on line, actually give the date of entry of soldiers into the 'Theatre of War', it also lists the disposition of the same, and whether or not they were killed in action or discharged along with thedates for the same, and there Reginmantal #s. I say nubers plural because onme uncle was listed in two Regiments, with different #s. This occurred after he was wounded and was then re-assigned to a different regiment... it also lists any Medals which they may have been awarded. p.s. the 4th eldest brother was in the KOYLI's he was a prisoner of War in Germany having been captured in Belgium. He survived the War... The 3rd eldest brother was in another Regiment entirely and died after the War as a result of wounds received in the War...Kindest regards, Josephine. The above Post was in response to one sent directly to me from Deirdra Pickering.

My husband's maternal grandfather was a miner in County Durham with no connection with Yorkshire. He was in the East Yorkshire Regiment during WW1, returning to Co Durham after the war. By co-incidence he was stationed at Beverley Barracks at the same time as my paternal grandfather who joined the ER regiment in Bethnal Green, the place of his birth.

Thanks Graham, Did that mean he actually went to Middlesex or was stationed there? If so, was that unusual to travel to other parts of the country?

Friends, Sorry to weigh you down with another question - is it correct to presume that soldiers in WW1 went into regiments with similar sounding names as their county - for example - a soldier from Hull might join the Regiment/Service: King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry? thanks for any insights. Deirdra - willing to do looks up in Dublin, Ireland.

Friends, Hazel B very kindly suggested the cwgc website for tracking people who may have been killed in the war. For example, the man below may be a relative - any ideas how I can confirm that? I checked against the free BMD register for Hull in 1915 / 16 / 17 but he is not recorded. Would his death have been recorded in his native city of Hull? Is there another way to double check if information on the cwgc is what I am looking for? Can I check the army records for the regiment?

Hello List, I am jumping into this debate/search for information a little late, but I do have some insight into what it is you are looking for. (although not specifically). I did obtain my uncle's record from WW1 through the PRO. and there are Muster Rolls and Medal Rolls available online as previously mentioned. One has to pay for the actual documents though. Sadly my eldest uncle's documents did not survive enemy bombing of the record Offices in WW11. There is evidence of fire damage on the records I do have. Just to give you some indication of what one can find, I now know that two of my uncles went into the Boys Brigade late in the 1800's or very early in the 1900's. They were both Cutlers by Trade.They then transferred to the Militia in the York & Lancs Regiment. The boys were born and raised in Sheffield. The Home Army was never supposed to be sent abroad although my second eldest uncle died on 23rd October 1914 in France, near the Chateau de Flandres. He is buried at Ration Farm Military Cemetary. He was a 'Drummer'. Further research has produced his enlistment papers and the War Diaries for the Regiment, which means that I know exactly where and when he was killed. He died while running through a Barn according to his eldest brother who was with him at the time. The eldest uncle was severely wounded by shrapnel, and terribly disfigured. He held himself responsible for his brother's death and never recovered from the trauma. To answer the question re the likely Regiments one would join. It is known that the Boys joined the Y&L in 1808 (as Militia). They thought it quite a Lark. Here is an acount of the history for the Y&L as follows. Unfortunately it is not a pleasant scenario: Formed in 1881 by the amalgamation of 2 Regiments. The 65th 2nd North Riding Reg. & the 84th York & Lancaster Regiment... The title of the Regiment was derived from the fact that most of the enlisted men were drawn from the Militias under the control of properties owned by the Duchy of York and the Duchy of Lancaster... a nice way of saying that the men who were employed on the lands of these 'gentlemen', inevitably ended up as Cannon Fodder. they were in many cases coerced into joining the Army... the Lords would march them up and down in uniforms purchased by the same. As a reward, these same Officers and Gentlemen would be given Honorary Medals for their contribution to the War effort. A great deal of these same Officers never saw active combat, just merrily waved their men off to war at the Railway Station. In fact it is recorded in books that the regular recruiting area for the Y&L. was wholly within South Yorkshire, an area known as Hallamshire. From 1924 the regiment was known as the 'Hallamshire Regiment'. This also meant that a huge population from one area was inevitably decimated... The York & Lancs regiment raised 22 Battalions for service in WW1, of which 8 Battalions saw action on the first day of the battle of the Somme. My uncles were in the first wave. Arthur Dixon was killed age 24 years old on the 23rd October 1914 when his brother Charles was severely wounded, he and his brother were only one of many killed or wounded in October 1914. I had 4 uncles serving in WW1 all brothers. My Grandfather died of a broken heart in 1917 my Grandmother died in 1920. My mother was an orphan at ten having lost her 3 eldest brothers to the War... During this War, this Regiment suffered 48,650 casualties out of 57,000 men serving., with 8,814 killed or later died of War wounds. (72 out of every 100 men being either killed or wounded). The Regiment won 4 Victoria Crosses and 59 Battle Honours, the largest number in any English Regiment during the 1st WW. My Grandfather realizing the danger the boys were in had tried to buy them Commissions when it became apparent that the boys would be sent to France. (this was denied). I have huge amounts of infomation re this Regiment, but I tell you this so that one can see that a lot of local men who worked on Large Estates would have been swept up in this type of scenario. The Lords with big Estates had a huge influence on the enlistment of their own servants. Research has shown from Newspapers of the day that the men were bribed and coerced into joining Militias... the Territorial Army which was never supposed to leave England, were the first one's given new designations and sent to War... In Newspaper accounts from the 'Sheffield Register' of the era, it is apparent that on Sundays, at Church, men were brought up for ridicule and called cowards if they refused to join Militias. There is evidence that families were taken care of if the men went off to War, but unfortunately some men were dismissed from service and lost their homes if they refused. Special mention of the amount of men who had joined up was given out at Church Services as well. Special mention was made of those who gave their all for their country. I also have the Muster Rolls. Pay records and discharge documents also for my 3Xs Great Grandfather who joined the Royal Artillery in 1807. He was sent to Canada with his wife in 1808. He stayed in Canada until 1814-15. He was discharged in 1816 after being wounded in Belgium. He was on his way to the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, when he was wounded by the falling of part of a gun. He received a pension of 6d per diem. If I can help in any way with trying to find information, please let me know, and I shall do my best. I belong to both Lists as my father's side of the family was from East/North Riding of Yorkshire and my Maternal side originated from South Yorkshire, namely Sheffield. Kindest regards, Josephine M. Laxton p.s. sadly some of the Officers were in fact cousins of my uncles. In all I have counted 62 members of my mother's family and extended families; who served in WW1. a lot of them never came back...I only have knowledge of the Y&L anthe Royal Artillery of the 1800's... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue" <lookfor@btinternet.com> To: <eng-east-yorks@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 10, 2008 10:14 AM Subject: Re: [ENG-EAST-YORKS] Double Checking info from the cwgc.org-whatregiment? > And my granny's first hubby was from Nottinghamshire, & joined the Essex > Regiment .. > > Sue > > > > Deirdra > > Not necessarily.

Hi Deirdra As a matter of interest, this same Frederick William Pickering shown below received the Victory Medal and there is an * with info showing "kin" meaning likely that it was handed over to his next of kin. Maybe someone on the List may have access to the CD disc of "Soldiers Died in The Great War 1914-1915" and could do a look up. I cannot remember exactly what info is on the disc about each individual, but I seem to recall it does indicate where the person signed up. Some Libraries, FHS may have this disc. http://www.great-war-casualties.com/ Janet Deirdra Pickering <deirdrapickering@gmail.com> wrote: Friends, Hazel B very kindly suggested the cwgc website for tracking people who may have been killed in the war. For example, the man below may be a relative - any ideas how I can confirm that? I checked against the free BMD register for Hull in 1915 / 16 / 17 but he is not recorded. Would his death have been recorded in his native city of Hull? Is there another way to double check if information on the cwgc is what I am looking for? Can I check the army records for the regiment?

Hello Barbara, My friends middle name is Bennie, it's a family name passed down, they are from Scotland, it was her grandmothers maiden (surname) name I believe June -----Original Message----- From: eng-east-yorks-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-east-yorks-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of McConnell Sent: 27 April 2008 21:35 To: ENG-EAST-YORKS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ENG-EAST-YORKS] Marjorie Symington BENNIE b. 1911 Does anyone on this list have the above-named in their family? It's not one of my family names, but we have a school book from Newcastle upon Tyne inscribed to her - and no idea how, why or when it came into our house - and we would love to give it to one of her descendents who would treasure it. My apologies to those who will see this message several times, but I'm posting it to several lists in hopes of reaching the right person.
