    1. [ENG-WILTSHIRE] Query on Militia
    2. Leonie Fretwell

    3. As part of my research on Wiltshire Osmans I came across a reference in the 1881 census for the Lafford family of Maisey Hampton (not Wiltshire I know!) in which the father and older son were described as Fa La & Private In The North Glost Militia I have checked google but could find no clue as to what Fa La meant. Can anyone throw any light on these abbreviations? Leonie Fretwell [email protected] Burra, South Australia

    3. Hi Leonie, When I'm transcribing for FreeBMD, it is is short form for 'father-in-law'. Is that possible?
