My grandfather and one of his brothers changed their name from Fahse to Fasey and both joined the British Army in the late 1890's and fought in the Boar war . |

I have never been able to tie up my Gt Grandfather's birth in France and his being in the Royal Marines. His census records always said he was born in France 'British subject'. He was a tailor in the R Marines according to all paperwork up until he dies in 1911, he lived in the Marine quarters in Gosport. Yet I can find no mention of him as a marine in N Archives and nowhere any mention of his birth. I know the family went to France, or at least they said they did when the children left a school they were at (from the register) and from the workhouse records. But that is all. Now I wonder if he actually was born in France. And/or if he was, was made a British Subject. So thanks for that Shirley, a bit more of the jigsaw. |

That is what I thought but Shirley seems to have been advised differently Sylvia. I have sort of given up looking, I know most of his life, just can't prove his birth or his Father's death (if he was his father that is!) |

For Shirley: My husbands grandfather Carl Edvard Peder Iversen Gran......not only changed his name to Charles Henry Grant but added a year to his age to join the Royal Marine Infantry in April 1914. He young and in need of money. No one seemed to check his details........the recruiting officers seem to turn a blind eye. His mother found out what he had done and went to see his Commanding Officer but it made no difference. |
