Does anyone have any info of a Samuel Hannah married to Charlotte McIndoe
Place of birth Glasgow Scotland.
Would like info of Military background. :-)

Hello Rona,

Which time frame are you asking about? You'll have to give us some idea of his date of birth so you can be helped. :-)

He enlisted on 15/8/1914 and was discharged on 2/12/1914 on medical grounds - a problem with a leg, but I can't make out the reason.

He had previously served with the Scottish Rifles - those records may be on FMP.

Both his earlier and 1914 records are on FMP you can view the images there.

He enlisted in 1892 and was discharged in 1905; father's name given as Samuel Hannah, 191 Fordneuk St, Bridgeton, Glasgow.

Welcome to the Boards, Rona - should have said that before!

Do you need any more help with Samuel and Charlotte?

Hi Potty
Thank you for the info. The family members do seem to tie up with me The information ( if it is my Grandfather ) seems to tie up a lot of things i have been trying to find out about him, his other children were George Hannah ( my father ) and Charlotte Hannah and later adopted Ronald Hannah.
Rona :-)

Not sure if you have this:


Name:Samuel Hannah
Gender:Male
Birth Date:13 Sep 1874
Birth Place:Bridgeton,Glasgow,Lanark,Scotland
Father:Samuel Hannah
Mother:Elizabeth Orr

The birth should be on scotlandspeople and will give you the date and place of his parents marriage.

Two possible siblings:

Name: Jane Mcgavin Hannah
Mother: Elizabeth Orr
Father: Samuel Hannah
Birth: 16 Jan 1869 - Bridgeton,Glasgow,Lanark,Scotland

Name: Maria Hannah
Mother: Elizabeth Orr
Father: Samuel Hannah
Birth: 27 Jun 1873 - Bridgeton,Glasgow,Lanark,Scotland

Hi
Is the black & white photo shown of Samuel Hannah?
Regards
Rona

:-)

Not sure which photo you mean, Rona. If it's the one next to my posts, that's me as a baby!

If you mean the wedding one on Ancestry, not your Samuel as that one was born 1936.

oops sorry

Not sure the possible siblings match up with my ancestors :-S

Have you got Samuel & Charlotte's marriage cert? That will give you his parents' names. You can view it scotlandspeople; you will need to buy credits, £7 for 30; 6 will let you see the cert.

I can only find Samuel with his father on the 1881 & 1891 censuses; possibly can find Samuel snr on the 1871.

Thanks for that. I will see if I can search the 1871 census. You have given me a lot of info now. :-)

The record Potty posted with dates for his discharge states that he is not likely to become an efficient soldier.

The reason being that he had 'very marked varicose veins on right leg.'

His wife and sons were living at 38 Granville Street, Kilbirnie?
Samuel born 25/11/08 in Glasgow.
Robinson born 24/04/13 in Radnor Park.

He was discharged under Para 392 (iii) (c) RR


This thread explains it very well

Well done, alviegal! I couldn't make out what the problem was with his leg.

Funny about the varicose veins as they seem to run in the family

Do you anything about when he died?

You would need to use scotlandspeople to find his death - doing a free search, there are 3 deaths recorded in Lanarkshire for his name and his year of birth. The death cert will show his parents, so if you look at the marriage cert as well, you will be able to confirm the correct death entry.
