Hi Lynne

I know nothing about Levi - will have a look at the trees on Ancestry later.
My grt-grandfather was William b 1848 Ns from 1871 till his death in 1914 he lived in Scotland. William & John's father John b1817/19 had Scots heritage.

Many Many thanx Jax - i am thrilled with the army reference!

Attestation at 14yrs & 4 months, some things have changed for the better!

Kathy :)))

I am still not convinced the Canadian records are for him, have been looking at the tree on ancestry and they have his wife as a single person living in England on the 1881 plus married and living in Canada??

When he left the army in 1885 he said he was not married but the canadian records have him married with children?

Yes - i will be looking at all the paperwork very carefully. You know i've been searching for him for years. I often wondered why i couldn't find a death cert.
The fact that he's given his father John at Woolwich as his next of kin....adds some weight.

Anyway, i now have something to research---i've been baffled...this has been a difficult lot to trace.
i really do appreciate your time!

Jax - then he was not married - two different Jojn Cummings' - just as there seems to be countless John & Mary Ann Cummings pairings.

thanx Kathy :))

Morning Kathy,

I have taken another look at the death registrations in Canada for John Cummings, have found another one, which could be a possible; this one states that father was John Cumins from Scotland and Elizabeth Taunton from England. It shows that he had a wife, Mrs John Cummins. This John too died in 1921

I will forward the image via e-mail.
