Last Tuesday I went to the PRO at Kew to try and find my Great Great Grandads Army records plus a few other bits for me and and my wife. I got there at 09:00 as the doors opened. I went in and started on the records I needed to order. I had written down all the film and records numbers the night before so I could just order them straight away.
09:30 came and I could now order the records I needed, after 20 mins the boxes arrived, I went through all these old services records and found......... nothing. Absolutly nothing for my Great Great Grandad (James Dullaway) and nothing for my wife. The only things I did find was my Great Grandads service records and the records of the 2 Dellaways that died in WW1 (I'll be posting more that on the site when I get around to it) I must have ordered 20 different records and looked at numerous micro films. I left there at 17:00 quite despondant. Not wanting to ever go back. Well, 6 days on and of course I now want to go back after looking at their web site and have found one or two more avenues to go down. But this won't be for some time.
Now back to current events, I have had a few more people contact me with different things and more photos to add and the new service records I found for these soldiers in WW1 and my Great Grandad, I'm going to be busy. Plus I need to reply to some mails and invite Emma Vokes down to see me. Where I am going to find the time I do not know. Since renewing my interest in January it has gone mad.
