Find Ancestors

Interesting find , that other wedding. . He was in a London regiment i think at one point in the first world war . I'll check that. Wonder if there were any children born from this marriage . Not as,easy to check as not in Lancashire . Is there a way if checking if this Robert i Gregory and elsie fox had children ? :-S

Found a few births in west ham that could have been the children of that marriage.. Will check this out . :-S

Robert ingham Gregory was in the first world war in the London field ambulance . Does this mean he perhaps joined up in London ? This may explain the west ham connection if it is actually him marrying elsie fox. The births of children with m.m.n fox in west ham ended in 1924 . So wonder if this is when he returned to Burnley ...uf it is actually him. Interesting. May be jumping the gun but woukd be great if this was correct . :-) :-D :-S

Is there anyone able to check his service number 207276 for the London field ambulance ? :-)

Oh good . Glad it's not complicated . Just strange how they have him down as in the London field ambulance on Burnley in the great war , nit sure if the above service record contradicts that . They gave the same service number though. But at least we know that this other Robert has the middle name Isaac. Thanks for that .

Thanks for the info for Robert . Glad he was not found to be previously married.though it is strange it says on the Burnley in the great war site that Robert was in the London field ambulance regiment :-S
