I have been battling against a Œbrick wall¹ for some time now and I would appreciate any help that may be out there. The problem concerns one Richard Page who is listed on the Weald website as having been born c1770 (no parents quoted), and as being listed in the Fletching Parish Registers. He certainly exists as I have details of his marriage, family etc., but he is not listed in the Parish Registers nor in the Bishop¹s transcripts. Consequently, I do not have any information concerning his parents ­ result brick wall! I have searched every website I can think of and in adjacent parishes to try and locate him without success, and I appeal on anyone who may have come across him or has any other ideas to respond to this plea. Many thanks. Regards, John Kenton-Page 10424

Dear Listers, I am running into the proverbial brick walls in trying to track down young men in my tree who may well have been casualties in the First and Second World Wars (and possibly even a Boer War one). Where I don't know the regiment but am just guessing they joined up, is there any way I can try to find them listed anywhere? Ancestry has some information, but mainly to do with medals and pensions. In particular, I have a potential death in India in 1940 (shown in Ancestry from someone's tree on the One World Tree, but not contactable). I think from another entry made by (I think) the same person that the information is good, but I just don't know how to check it out. The death isn't listed in the complete deaths record for 1940. Were there separate records kept somewhere for war casualties? Any suggestions will be gratefully received. Regards, Eleanor Dilley Melbourne 11833

Hi   There is also a CD called 'Soldiers Died in the Great War', which gives brief details of where men joined up - it is searchable by this and other categories. Obviously many joined up a long way from the place they lived, but if you know where they were born this can also be searched.   Kathleen --- On Fri, 7/18/08, Warwick & Eleanor Dilley <dilleywe@bigpond.net.au> wrote: From: Warwick & Eleanor Dilley <dilleywe@bigpond.net.au> Subject: [SFHG] Two World Wars To: Cc: "SFHG LIST" <sfhg@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, July 18, 2008, 11:54 PM Dear Listers, I am running into the proverbial brick walls in trying to track down young men in my tree who may well have been casualties in the First and Second World Wars (and possibly even a Boer War one).

Hello John,   Wisborough Green is covered by the IGI (at Family Search site). So you can easily find all the listings for the family name in which you are interested by using Hugh Wallis' batch numbers site - go to http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountySussex.htm#W  - it has christenings and marriages for 1560-1876. Click on, say, Christenings C071301 and type in the family name in the top right corner, then click on Submit Query. Alternatively you could order from the SFHG a hard copy printout of all the IGI entries for the name in which you are interested - see http://www.sfhg.org.uk/igi.html   Good luck, Christine Jackson SFHG 397 Ottawa, Canada   --- On Fri, 7/18/08, John Green <jandagreen@sympatico.ca> wrote: From: John Green <jandagreen@sympatico.ca> Subject: [SFHG] Wisborough Green Church of St. Peter.

Adrian. Not sure if it will help much. In the 1841 census for Uckfield Workhouse there is an entry (2 above Sophia) for Harriet Santer age 12 also shown as born Sussex. The LDS Church website (www.familysearch.org) lists a christening of Harriet Santer 29 June 1828 at Cranbrook, parents shown as Stephen and Judith Santer. The LDS site also lists a marriage in Benenden 30 November 1812 between Stephen Santer and Judith Risbridge. This may give you something to check on. Regards. John Cain 10370

Pam, TD is Territorial Decoration, which ties in with Territorial service in the RAMC. The following is from www.northeastmedals.co.uk The Territorial Decoration (1908-1930) Instituted 1908 in the wake of the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act 1907, which saw the formation of the Territorial Force from the reorganisation of the old Volunteer and Militia structure of the British Army. This decoration therefore replaced the Volunteer Officers' Decoration which had been in use from 1892. The Territorial Decoration was awarded for 20 years commissioned service, although service in the ranks could be counted at half the rate and war service at double the rate. Description: a silver skeletal badge in the form of oval oak wreath "tied with gold" 45 mm high by 36 mm wide, containing the gilt finished crowned cypher of King Edward VII or George V as appropriate. The reverse is plain except in the case of the earlier issues which are hallmarked. Suspension is by means of a free ring. Naming: issued unnamed although frequently encountered unofficially engraved in various styles. Ribbon; 38mm wide dark green with a central yellow stripe. Regards, Rosie Ansell

Pam, RAMC is indeed Royal Army Medical Corps. T denotesTerritorial TD denotes 'Territorial Decoration' awarded for long service. I checked out Wikipedia ~~ it has a very complete explanation.
