Hi Sandy,
Thank you so much for your interest. I would certainly appreciate it if you could find
when children were born to Samuel Hughes and Sara Drury.
Shropshire Kings LI collections are held in the Shropshire Archives but for them to do a
free search, they need to know the battalion he was with and I don't know how to find
this information. (I wonder if there is a way of finding out which battalion the men of
Acrefair usually joined in 1898-1901?)
All I know about my Samuel Hughes is:
Born 19 Nov. 1870, Chirk
Lived in Acrefair (1881 & 1891 Census)
Died 7 Sept 1901, buried St. Sepulchre's Cemetery, Poona [Puna], No. 29, Age 30,
Private 1st King's Shropshire LI, Cause of death Enteric Fever, Cervice John A.
Sellar, Chaplain. (The British Library, IOR: Bombay Ecclesiastical Records.)
Regards,
Lois
