Cherilyn,

Didn't see your remarriage of Elizabeth before.

Thomas' second initial is S, maybe we will find it sooner or later!!

A good day had by all, me thinks!!!

Wow, thanks! Florence certainly married late - and lived to a ripe old age too. Good for her, she married a man 11 yrs her junior! I had seen the 1990 death for her but no marriage or married name.


Is it possible to get the full household record for the 1851 below, please, anyone? (And 61 and 71 if he can be found too please!)

Thanks for all that, great stuff! :-)

My father-in-law has a framed print of the Menin Gate at Midnight hanging in his lounge room! This is not his line but still, how about that.

Rank from Nominal Roll Private
Unit from Nominal Roll 8th Battalion
Fate Killed in Action 20 September 1917
Commemoration details The Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial (Panel 7), Belgium
The Menin Gate Memorial (so named because the road led to the town of Menin) was constructed on the site of a gateway in the eastern walls of the old Flemish town of Ypres, Belgium, where hundreds of thousands of allied troops passed on their way to the front, the Ypres salient, the site from April 1915 to the end of the war of some of the fiercest fighting of the war.

The Memorial was conceived as a monument to the 350,000 men of the British Empire who fought in the campaign. Inside the arch, on tablets of Portland stone, are inscribed the names of 56,000 men, including 6,178 Australians, who served in the Ypres campaign and who have no known grave.

The opening of the Menin Gate Memorial on 24 July 1927 so moved the Australian artist Will Longstaff that he painted 'The Menin Gate at Midnight', which portrays a ghostly army of the dead marching past the Menin Gate. The painting now hangs in the Australian War Memorial, Canberra, at the entrance of which are two medieval stone lions presented to the Memorial by the City of Ypres in 1936.

Since the 1930s, with the brief interval of the German occupation in the Second World War, the City of Ypres has conducted a ceremony at the Memorial at dusk each evening to commemorate those who died in the Ypres campaign.
