Greeting’s Again……….. Sheila I checked out Electoral Rolls for Woodville Road. 1918. ~ 1926. No sign of Edwin Phillips. Culver Road returns did not appear for these years So …has you stated they must have been built 1930’s then. MIKE.

Greeting’s again Sheila Have you explored this site ? :~ http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/default.asp click on links to WW1 Campaign medals ( on the right ) type in Edwin’s names search years = 1915 ~ 1920. Several possibilities Including:~ Phillips Edwin. Private Leicester Reg. No. 6494. Phillips Edwin. Private Leicester Reg. No. 2371. No actual details of Medals given on line you have to order the fiches. Yes you stated he enlisted with Cameroonians ( Scottish Rifles ) But then this Reg. disbanded. So he could be with any Reg. MIKE.

Re Army Records: when you write to Glasgow, they send forms back to fill in (of course the would!). If you are not the spouse of the service person, a search will cost £30. Am plucking up the courage to splash out this to me rather large sum of money to find out about my father's service. Jan

Greeting's Again Sheila ...... Re:~ Grandparents Samuel & Emma Bradbury I See that Emma Goadby aged 8 Grand Daughter was living with them on the 1901. Census at No. 1 Harrison Road . RG 13. / 2991 / 37 / Page 6. Put it in the Pending tray instead of the L tray .... Did Edwin belong to the British Legion ? might be an other way to find his service No. OR Have you tried this contact point ? Re contact point for Army Records :~ National Archive Office. Army Personal Centre. Historical disclosures. Mail Point 400. Kentigern House. 65. Brown Street. Glasgow. Tel ::~0141 2243515. Or :~ 0945 600 9663. Plus you will have to prove ID as next of Kin.

Hi Mike Many thanks for your efforts on my behalf. Shame they didn't come to anything. You've got me thinking now. I know they lived in Bruin Street when they were first married because a number of the houses there were owned by Emma's grandfather, Samuel Bradbury. They moved to Woodville Road when those houses were built, and then to Culver Road in the 30s, but God only knows where they would have lived between say 1918 and Woodville Road being built. Thanks anyway. Looks as if I'm as far away as ever from tracking down Grandad's war service. File under L for loose ends. Cheers Sheila

Mike - it just keeps getting better! And so ye should doff yer cap - I meself am a Grazier of 5 acres employing one broken down old codger and a dog!

Greeting's Michael O' Oz..... ' The Dog has the bone between it's teeth '....lol :0))) We'll see what develops next time.

Mike - thank you so much for that - it is marvelous! It at last gives me Nanny's fathers name - William Harrison. And we were right about a simple FWK marrying well- a Grazier! (In Australia that would have made him a member of the aristocracy! - lol)

**** F.A.O. **** …….. Sheila. I did know where Bruin Street was …lol Delivered milk down there when I was on the Milk. Following my visit to Records Office to day:~ Just to make it simple. !!!!! …….lol :0)))) BRUIN STREET.:~ South side. ( Even No’s ) = St. Margaret’s Ward. West Division North side. ( Odd No’s ) = Belgrave Ward. East Division. Having trawled through both Wards ….. The only Reference to Phillips Voters was.:~ 1918. St. Margaret’s Ward. Benjamin Phillips..... H.O. ……..98. Bruin Street. Alice Phillips. ......... H.O……….98. Bruin Street. Abv. = H.O. = Qualifies on Husbands Occupation. No. 98. Might have been a shop ( need to look on 1901 census to check it out ) 1920. Same Even = St. Margaret’s Ward. Odd = Belgrave Ward. Benjamin Phillips……..R. O. ….98. Bruin Street. Alice Phillips…………..R. O…...98. Bruin Street. Abv. = R.O. = Qualifies on Residential Occupation. So could Emma have been lodging with Benjamin & Alice. But she would not appear because Females did not get the vote till 1927. Alice appeared due to her husbands Occupation. There was References to absent voters..... But only stated as. (a) N.M. = That they were Naval or Military forces. But if the address was in the County then the service No’s were given But not for those living in the Borough of the City……. MIKE. xxx

Mike - whoops! I had meant to say that she had married DANIEL Winterton in 1801. Sorry bout that.

Mike - thanks so much for looking that up for me. I Feel that baptism would make her a little young to be married in 1801 - lol. But stranger things have happened on my tree - another gt gt g/m was a 13 year old serving wench when she was put in the pudding club by His Lordship! It would be wonderful if you can find the time to have a look at the Records Office for me - this one has puzzled me for 20 years. The family story is that the Harrisons were prosperous farmers and Daniel Winterton married well! (His family were FWK's before this event).Its hard to find the info when you live out in the Aussie bush!

hi paula i was at beauchamp 1980/81 what were your friends names if you dont mind me asking sarah

Thanks, Mike I will take a look right now. Paula

Greeting's & Welcome........ Michael. Using the resources to hand the closest I can come up with :~ Baptism. Ann Harrison. 31st. August. 1788. St. Michael's Parish Church Thurmaston. Father :~ Robert. Mother :~ Eliz. according to my data base:~ Nanne Harrison Married :~ .......DANIEL WINTERTON. St. Michael's Parish Church. Thurmaston. 13th. May 1801. By LICENCE. Back to the drawing board ? If I get time I'll have a look at the Parish Registers for St. Michaels Thurmaston at the Records Office to see what I can find. Plus seeing the marriage was preformed by Licence then there will be extra information via the Licence Index card system. and report back on here MIKE.

Hi Mike Edwin Phillips, born August 1889 was the son of Abraham and Charlotte (nee Allen). They were in the hosiery trade and were in Tyndale Street in 1901. As far as I am aware he was conscripted after his marriage in 1915, but I can't find his medal card. Bruin Street is/was off Belgrave Road on the left going out of town, before you get to the junction with Loughborough Road. How can someone I knew turn out to be a mystery? Will be interested to hear what you turn up. Cheers Sheila

HI All My LEI families are WINTERTON, HARRISON, KIRBY, CHURCH and MEASURES. One day I would love to find the birth and parents of NANNE/ANN/FANNY HARRISON , about 1774 Thurmaston LEI. She married DANIEL WINTERTON 13/5/1801 at Thurmaston. Thanks Michael W
