E-mail: laurie@mysassy.fsnet.co.uk		 I am researching my Gt Gt Grandfather and have come across his 1904 marriage cert. His name was Edward Ward and it states he was a Private in the Royal Marines but I cannot read his residence.
It looks like something 'Ground', Portsmouth. Would this have been a military residence perhaps?
Can anyone tell me where the RM's were based in 1904 in Portsmouth.

Many thanks

E-mail: Brian@bwells5.wanadoo.co.uk		 While tracing my family tree, I have discovered a younger brother to my grandfather. The brother's name was Frederick Wells, born 16th June 1882. His parents were Thomas and Elizabeth Wells. Frederick was born in Alton, Hampshire, but at the outbreak of WWI we think he lived in Westbourne, West Sussex. The name F Wells R.M.L.I. appears on the memorial cross for WWI in the churchyard at Westbourne, and we are sure this is the uncle we are looking for.
I have no infromation regarding his service number or rank, or where he served and was killed. I would be grateful for anyone who can throw some light on this research for me please.
All emails will be answered. Thank you.
Brian Wells.

E-mail: p.trousdell@btinternet.com		 Looking for history of my Great Uncle P/1594 Reginald Henry DURDLE RMLI Portsmouth Div. Died 13.10 1921. I have found his grave in Downton where his parents lived. His grave is a Commonwealth War Graves pattern and he is listed on the CWG site as being war dead. Perhaps died from it but not in it?
