Hello Maggie & Annette,

I’m glad I could help. Was he a soldier in 1911? If he is well and truly missing in 1901 he could well have been in South Africa, participating in the Boer War.

Here’s something about the 7th Fife Territorial Battalions, as mentioned in the Ancestry papers. http://thaneofife.org.uk/t7rh-ww1.html

Hello Alan

i dont think he was a soldier in 1911 unfortunatly he had flowery writing that is hard to make out but i think he was a cooper but the box where it states industry or service with which worker is connected i'm not at all sure it looks like contact colours ??? unfortunatly at the moment i'm unable to view the document on my system this vista dosent work as well as my old xp or maybe its just me being stupid( i'm just glad i printed it at the same time as i viewed it on line )or id post a portion of it for opinions as to what it says.
Kind regards
maggie

Hello Maggie,

If he was in fact a Cooper then there’s a very wide range of industries that could have employed him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooper_%28profession%29

I can’t recall what the main problem was with SP and Vista. Maybe it was it one of those things where changing the SP option to Direct Download helped.

All the best,
Alan
