Here is the chap I have been researching
Serjeant CONWAY, JOHN
Service Number 3844
Died 25/12/1914
Aged 36
2nd Bn.
Border Regiment
Served in the South African Campaign.

His obituary states that he served in the 12th Lancers and then afterwards in the special reserves, and on the outbreak of the war he was transferred to 2nd Bn Border Regiment, He was seriously wounded on the 18th Nov.1914 Monday and by Wednesday he was back in England at Exeter no.1 temporary hospital where sadly he died from his injuries on the 25th Dec.1914 and buried at Exeter Higher Cemetery.

Thanks once again Mike.

 

So am I right in thinking that Fold 3 stuff is on Find My Past ?

Cheers TD I've everything on Joseph apart from his Pension Card and like you I have Ancestry but not Fold 3 which is bloody annoying that they put a British WW1 research on an American site

Cheers Mike.

 

Whats even more annoying is Fold3 is part of Ancestry so why cant they include it in the subscription. Also I phoned them [Ancestry] to ask about this and was told that Fold3 was a completely separate company, until I explained to them that it wasnt - just put it down to greed

TD

 

The Pension Card:

 

Ohhh Ancestry/Fold3 - thats so worth the subscription - I would complain if it was free - but then I'm like that

TD

 

This is an unusual card, there is generally far more information on the cards.

It's a shame, but as the files are being updated by the WFA who own them more information may be available in the future.

Mark

 

Cheers Mark, yes your right there is usually a lot more information on the cards than that I can't believe how sparse that is ?

Let's hope there may be some more information later on for this particular card, because this was new as I had researched the pensions cards quite a while ago and this for Joseph wasn't there.

Cheers again Mark all the best Mike
