My Great Grandad Was a Band Boy In The Boer War But I Cant Find Any Info On Him . His Name Is Edward Marsh And He Was Born In Lancashire ,Probably Preston.
There are 3 Edward Marsh entries on the 1891 census born preston , one is aged 1, one 6 and one 7. Really anyone of them could be the right one, do you have his date of death and his age at death?
Have you checked the census's? http://www.1901censusonline.com/ http://www.ancestry.com/
should be able to help you.
Do you have a birth./marriage./death certificate? If so you will know/have some idea when he was born. Even his childrens birth certificates will have some information on him ie his full name and what he did for a living.
spudqueen i was assumong if he was in the Boer war (or 2ns Boer war0 he would miss the 1901, though i know the troops were recorded in a seperate return.
