Long time since I asked for anything, therefore hoping some kind person might present me with an early Christmas present. Recently just discovered a 'new' cousin in Bradford who's trying to discover her ancestors. They are HUME in Bradford from 1890. One, a Percy Gordon Hume, but went under the name of Sidney Hume, was a musician and apparently ran a band even though he was blind. Also a David Archibald Hume who was in the Tank Corp the whole of WW1, can anyone help me in trying to discover his army records, don't mind paying of course. I know some records were destroyed in WW2, but I have another HUME from the same time so I presume the H's weren't damaged. Sorry for the lengthy request regards John Hume Wet and Windy Nottingham BAKER-PROSSER - LONDON BEAL - 1883 - SHEFFIELD BOIK - 1823 - SOUTH AFRICA/SCOTLAND BROGDEN - 1800 - COLLINGHAM YORK BROOKS - 1853 - ROTHERHAM BUCKLAND - 1880 - NOTTINGHAM CATER - 1929 - SHEFFIELD CLARK - 1825 - HULL/INKBERROW CRAWSHAW - 1886 - SHEFFIELD GIGG - LONDON HARRISON - NOTTINGHAM (SNEINTON) WILSTROP - YORK ALWAYS LOOKING FOR HUME, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME

Hi John Firstly it is always best to post to lists individually rather than cross post, it can cause problems for list admins when people reply to lists they are not subscribed to The only David Archibald HUME I can find is one registered in Rotherham in 1898 is he yours? It does match the Archibald David HUME whose medal card gives 78774 as his regt number It looks like he attested in 1916 and was in the Machine Gun Corps, the Labour Corps and the Tank Corps Was his father Gordon Archer HUME? If so let me know and I will send the service records and medal card Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > Long time since I asked for anything, therefore hoping some kind person > might present me with an early Christmas present. > > Recently just discovered a 'new' cousin in Bradford who's trying to > discover her ancestors.
