Thank you so much Galloway Lass, will copy them to file. I have a long list of things to look for on the 1921 census (as I'm sure a lot of us have)- this will be added on to it!

[GallowayLass]

These are the sections in which I found the most useful info. The Silver War Badge page says he served abroad but I can’t see it mentioned where exactly he was. Maybe a war diary might help. Try TNA catalogue while downloads are still free.

wow good finds GL, nearly a year to wait for the census though :(

it'll be longer than that though. From what I was reading it'll be more like 2022 by the time its out.

Snap Caroline. So that means roughly that it'll be 2023 by the time Ancestry gets it...

I do remember reading that now too long, they were quicker with 1911 weren't they?

What is Dorothy's father's name on her marriage certificate? Appears to be this entry:
1939
Name: Dorothy I Hiles
Registration Quarter: Oct-Nov-Dec
Registration District: Oxford
Inferred County: Oxfordshire
Spouse: Leonard W White
Volume Number: 3a
Page Number: 6323

I don't have her marriage certificate as she is a reasonably distant twig. Unfortunately the Oxford parish records on Ancestry only go up to 1930.

That was down to a campaign which FTF member guy had a big hand in if I remember correctly.

I had found that info for you but got distracted by evening meal time. His medal card shows he was discharged under King‘s Regulations due to being too ill for service. His service record papers show he discharge required another person to take his place and he was given a King’s Certificate and his Silver War Badge to wear as proof he was not dodging his responsibilities. He had signed up only a few months before his marriage and his two employers are listed. One was Frinton on Sea so that fits with the marriage certificate. F on S is 45 miles from Writtle which is very near Chelmsford. Could he have enlisted at Chelmsford Barracks? The discharge as mentioned in the service record does not mention Hilda and that he seeks employment as a waiter in Oxford. Did you get all that in the pages of the record you have seen?

It's easily done, but no harm in reminding ourselves occasionally when someone inadvertently transgresses.
