Find Ancestors

Eringobragh

Thanks for the link seems to be a problem with the site as all I see is blank pages.

I checked about 40 soldiers names from the 1901 census in Shorncliffe to see what regiments they belonged to in 1911, only found one soldier in the Loyal North Lancashire's. So I'm assuming that because they were both in the same camp in 1901 different camps in 1911 but same regiment that I have the right person on the 1901 census.

Thanks Karen

Try this site.....

Search for Shorncliffe in http://www.regiments.org/ all sorts of references to the various regiments who have been stationed there.

Thanks Graham and Eringobragh.

That must be it...didn't think they could all be prisoners!

Now to try and find what regiments were there in 1901.

Karen

Karen.... (1901) Abt 95% of the Camp where listed as inmates....possibly just a term they used ....

Shorncliffe Camp contains a military hospital. Maybe the 'inmates' were actually patients.

Edit.

Can anyone tell me why some of the Soldiers on the 1901 census for the Shorncliffe Military camp in Kent were called 'inmate'

I think Annie was her name not a nickname as she used it on the census, electoral list and marriage cert.


Thanks.

Liam, didn't see your message with birth entries can't see anything there, thanks for looking for me.

Hi Liam

That explains a lot it was known that Annie came from Youghal, on 1911 census she stated Ardmooe, Waterford Resident, and for daughter Eileen it stated Newbridge, Kildare Resident her birth was in Apr-May-Jun 1907
Registration district: Naas

All I can tell you about Annie is that her father is Michael Cotter decd by 1915 occupation general labourer and we think she had a sister Hannah.

Thanks

Hi Marie

We did have his army number 413 .... I never noticed that on the 1911 census.

If they can change regiments then that must be John on 1901 census.

Hope you are more successful than me on the army records I couldn't find John on Ancestry's army records.

Thanks

Michael Cotter , Ardmore. / fisherman

Although Youghal is in County Cork it is on the border of Cork and Waterford,it was also the registration district for BMD in parts of Waterford which would also include Ardmore, Clashmore.

Edit.
Could these be connected to your Cotter's. ?

Hi Karen - the regiment number was just what was on the census.

They can change regiments - I'll have a shufti through service records and see if there's anything there.

Yes Marie that's them.

And I think this is John on the 1901 census

Only thing here is he is with a different regiment to 6th D guards not sure if soldiers can change regiment.

How did you find out his regiment number?

Marie

Like I said I don't think it's the right family, just can't get anywhere at all with Annie's family.

Not sure when Annie died but think it was S.E London maybe Woolwich as I have found her on the electoral Reg. up to about 1940.

John Williams died in 1924 Bromley.

Karen

Just out of curiosity, is this her husband John in 1911?

It's the same place as Annie and Eileen are. (I've now added them)

Karen, I've been to Fermoy and it is in County Cork, about 25 miles from Cork itself.

Ardmore is about 30 miles from Fermoy and about 10 miles from Youghal.

Personally, I'd be concentrating on Waterford, not Cork.

I think the fact that Michael was a general labourer rules out the Fermoy man, who was a mason.

Did Annie die in Birmingham in 1951?

EDIT: Just checked my map and Youghal appears to be in Cork, whereas Ardmore is Waterford although they're not too far apart.

Marie

Middle name is from relative.

Karen

Hi Marie

I agree with you. I'm searching for a relative who seems to think that this the right family as he remembers talk of his Father's Aunt Hannah.

Annie was in England in 1911 but we don't know if the rest of her family stayed in Ireland.

Occupation on marriage certificate in 1915 General Labourer deceased.

Eringobragh
My relative was told Annie came from Youghal not sure if that is in the Ardmore Waterford district where she states on 1911 census. Fermoy isn't too far away from Cork so he seems too think it's possible.
