Thanks Gardener. Perhaps the “ continued sleeping rooms” were an outbuilding on the farm as Francis( Frank) was a farm labourer.

It’s one of the reasons it is taking me so long to work through the family tree. I find a snippet of information and I want to know the story behind it, as you say, warts and all. You are right, what those guys went through must have had some bearing on the rest of their lives. Today, we call it PTS...

This is the information that Gardener found out about Albert. This 2nd marriage took place after he re enlisted in 1919 and is probably the reason for his imprisonment. Also, it seems he deserted.

I cant help feeling a slight sense of injustice. No matter what his indiscretions were, there is no doubt he did more than his bit during WW1. Despite being wounded 3 times ( twice during the battle of the Somme) he still re enlisted in 1919. No wonder he went off the rails. Well done Apowell, loved...

Oooo, thanks so much Apowell. I will enjoy adding this to my tree.

Thanks Rocky, so I can access via BMD sites?

Does that mean I would have to attend or find someone who is going?

Ive found a George Booker b 1796 in Eynesford, which is a very short distance from Shoreham and is also where George & Sarah were married. It gives his parents names as William and Elizabeth, so that throws doubt on the hints from Familysearch. Im going to explore this more.

Whilst I await access to Kent parish records, can anyone help with this one? I have George Booker census records which determine he was born in Shoreham, Kent abt 1800. He married Sarah Mercer ( born Otford 1803) in 1822 in Kingsdown Kent. This is the last ancester that I can be certain about, altho...
