ok so one thread per family from now on then. It was a bit galling to see the same info given 4 times over when I spent a whole evening on it and I am sure everyone else spent a lot of time as well.

hi christine thanks for letting me know what it means i'm sorry i seem to be causing so much trouble with the threads it took a while to figure out what a thread was lol although i have been a member for a while it was friendsreunited i was going on i have only been visiting gr for a little while it was by reading heather posie's thread that i realised i was doing it wrong hope i'm doing it right now but if not i'm sure someone will point me in the right direction
thanks to you all for you time and help once again sorry for all the trouble

It means nudge to take it to the top of the board. This is one of several threads on the same family so it means that people are duplicating their efforts to help you and are missing information found earlier.

hi christine what does n mean

Thanks for getting back Anne. Certainly Albert's birth remains a mystery. No sign of him anywhere.

hi ozbird
sorry i've taken so long in replying to you have been busy not been on computer for a few days. In answer to your question yes i have my grandfathers marraige certificate his fathers name was albert schacht also but it dosen't give my great grandmothers name which i was hoping for in scotland where i live on the marraige certificate it gives both parents names and m.s name of the mothers of the bride and groom in answer to your other question on my granddad's army records my uncle was henry authur bertie but we knew him as bert it's all very confusing and he dosen't list anyone as next of kin that i can see. I don't think i can get any further with this.
thanks for your help if you can think of anywhere else i can look i would be grateful.

If he joined in 1886 & married in 1895, does it have his parents as next of kin on his military records?

I guess Henry was nicknamed Albert?

I know you'll have most of this info but it helps us work backwards.

Albert's eldest on 1911.

Births Jun 1899
Schacht Henry Arthur B Guildford 2a 87

I agree with Joan on the 1901 census for the Schacht boys.

Do you have your grandfather's marriage cert? If so what was his father's name?

So this is your grandfather & family in 1911.

Hi,
Dont know if this is of any help but in 1881 Edward Schacht c 1870 and his brother Albert c 1872 both born in Poplar, were in the Forest Gate District School West Ham, this was a barrack school as well as a workhouse, it may be his parents were dead or they were all in the workhouse at that time and the boys put into the schools, they are both said to be scolars, but this was a school that had bands and a lot of the boys became bandsmen with which tie up with his profession on his papers.

Where were your father & his siblings born?

Have you checked their birth indexes?

hi ozbird i have quite a bit of his army record he joined in1886 at the age of 14 then it tells you where he was born later it tells when and where he was married then the chidren he had and when he moved to army quarters i know i have the right albert schacht because of my dad and his brothers and sisters although some of them i don't remember

Exactly what information do you have from his military records?

Schacht is not a very common name at that time & for both men to be born in Poplar there's a possibility they're related somewhere down the line.

Ozi.
