W. AMOS - William? Walter? From cutting of Diamond wedding (no date) he enlisted Royal Artillery @ Newport Monmouth, 1879 sent to Trowbridge & then Aldershot & The Egyptian campaign of 1882 & battle of Tel-el-Kebir. Said to have had 10 children - 6 who lived and 12 grandchildren. His wife was my great-grandmother. I do not think they can have come from Slawston - possible the west country. A daughter - Emily married a William Brewster in the Lyddington Rutland area in the 1890s. Have photos of them in their dotage and wife was in extraordinary cross twixt wheelchair and a pram !! |
