Thanks for all the help.

A 'Proctor' was almost like a posh caretaker. He looked after the dorms and oversaw exams etc

Right, thanks for that, seems strange to go from being in the army to a kind of posh caretaker for a university but there we go.

posting for my own benefit (I find it easier to read !)

Dear Choccy
Thank you so much for that information EdwardWakeling is part of my husbands family and he is fascinated by the information that you have given us . best wishes Julia

Happy to have been of some help.

Could anybody who currently has access to the 1911 census please look for Henry Edward Wakeling for me. Henry was Ashley Wakeling's brother (so Edward James's son) abd was also in the Royal Artillery. I cannot find him on the 1901 census so I am assuming he was sent abroad so I would be interested in looking at the 1911 census to see if he is in England. Thanks for your help in advance.

Please can anyone find Edward Wakeling in the 1871 census. I know he enlisted in the Royal Artillery in February of 1871 (see previous page) but I was hoping to find him on the censusso that I could see where he was. According to his military records he never went abroad so he must be in this country somewhere. Thank you in advance for any help that you can give

Where did he enlist?

Rose

Dear Purple
Edward Wakeling enlisted in Woolwich if that is of any help

That helps.

Thanks for that, was there an Edward Wakeling or just a James, or could the Edward and James just got swapped around as his middle name was James. He was definitely born in Hoxton so this is actually probably him.

That's the only one.

Rose

Ok, thanks
