ARC TBC..........James Hadley & Mary Ann Dearn marriage 1895

[Northern Lass]

There is a James Hadley born abt 1866 in Smethwick who is in the Worcestershire Regiment.

He is home from Nov 1884 to 1886.

West Indies from 1886 to April 1892.

Home April 1892 to discharge in November 1896.

Recalled for South Africa and served there from March 1900 to November 1901.

Father is William living in Queen Street, Smethwick and then Rabone Lane.

James's occupation on sign up is Roller, a common job in iron works.

This would fit then wouldnt it?

only prob is he is discharged in 1896 but on 1895 he puts occup on marriage and it isnt in army

he isnt on 1900 though and wife is with her parents in 1901

They are often put in reserve before dicsharge and make a living doing other things. My Great Grandfather was the same. He marrried whilst still in the Army but out down Groom as his occupation as that was paying the bills.
