looking for any info on the above ... served in the OX and Bucks regiment on the Isle of Wight approx 1922... date of birth probably around c1900

After much Googling, I don't see any mention of an army camp on the Isle of Wight prior to WW2.

Nor any mention of the Ox & Bucks having been stationed on the IoW.

EDIT:
But now ErikaH has edited her post above (now relocated below!), I've looked up Albany Barracks - also known as Parkhurst Barracks.

According to this:
https://legacy.isle-of-wight-fhs.co.uk/articles/albany_barracks.html

Ox & Bucks were stationed there 1927-32.

NOT Ox & Bucks, BUT........................

Albany Barracks (formerly Parkhurst Barracks) was a military installation on the Isle of Wight.

History
Construction of the barracks, which were originally named Parkhurst Barracks after the forest where they were located, was completed in September 1798.[1] Shortly after completion they were renamed "Albany Barracks" after Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany, who had been Commander-in-Chief of the Forces.[1] By 1807 they were occupied by the 29th (Worcestershire) Regiment of Foot preparing for action in the Peninsular War.[2] In 1859 the Isle of Wight Rifles was raised as a defence force for the Island and stationed at the barracks.[3]

Parkhurst Military Cemetery was set up to serve the barracks. It includes the war graves of 59 Commonwealth service personnel of the First World War and 26 of the Second World War, the latter including one unidentified British Army soldier and two unidentified Merchant Navy seamen.[4]

In 1959 the barracks were the location of a ceremony to celebrate the formation of the Duke of Edinburgh's Royal Regiment.[5] The barracks were decommissioned in the early 1960s and the site was redeveloped as Albany Prison at that time.[6]

So the dates for Ox & Bucks are somewhat later, and no info will be available online

Presumably this is about a paternity issue????

How does Hazel know her James White served on the Ox- Bucks?

The Ox Bucks infantry are now part of the Royal Green Jackets.

My brother-in-law served with Ox & Bucks in WW2...........not relevant to this enquiry, I know, before I'm criticised for mentioning it ;-)

The Green Jackets museum is in winchester. Lots of their records are in the county archives but:
"The Royal Green Jackets (Rifles) Museum holds, separate to the archives, a substantial library of books, including regimental histories and chronicles, and other reference material with which to answer research enquiries.

The Museum archives covering The Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry are held on loan by the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Trust (SOFO) in Woodstock. Researchers requiring access should visit http://www.sofo.org.uk/research.php for more information."
