I have just found out that my gt grandfathers brother who died in World War 1 age 38 was in fact an Army Chaplain. On the 1901 census he works in the Bank of England, just wondered how you make the transition from bank worker to Chaplain, thought some of you clever people out there mught have some ideas? Thanks in advance Nicky
