Hi I am look for detail on Private Edward Goulding 11th hassars ( brass annealer )east cavalry barracks Aldershot born around 1885 Smethwick I would like to know the places he served and any information about his death he was in the army on his daughters Sarah Goulding's birth certificate in 1916 I have come up against a brick wall with this and would love any information any one may have to help me.

I have heaps of information on an Edward Gooulding born Smethwick in 1885 whose mother is Sarah living at Ladywood, Birmingham but his reigment is the Kings Royal Regiment, not the 11th Hussars.

I hope it is not him because he is the first one I have ever seen who was kicked out of the Army for misconduct.....

He is the only one I can find born in Smethwick but on his first census he parents (John Thomas Goulding and Sarah Elizabeth Holliday) say he was born in Hull, Yorkshire.

Is this him?

This one gives his mother Sarah as next of Kin, living at 64 Bishop ????, Ladywood, B,ham.

There are about 24 pages for him on Ancestry.

Two service records and one Pension record.

He was thrown out of the Army in 1915 as he was continually going AWOL.

How come he as 2 different numbers.
