Hi WW2talk, I know this is pre WW2, but, any ideas? My Great Granddad was recorded in a census, at Bodmin, Cornwall in 1892. A Pvt in Duke of Cornwalls. Possibly service no. 3282, 2nd battalion. He was Albert Edward Hyman. Any info, or suggestions as to fill out the details of his service would be super. Thank you Kerry

Thank you so much Tricky Dicky, Well I NEVER heard from anyone in my family that he was in the Boer War, but that's definitely my grandad. I greatly appreciate your help. I'll continue to search, about the Boer war also now. K
Just noticed that the FMP service record is Arthur Edward Hyman but the service number is 3265. Looking at the posts above, which alternate between Arthur and Albert, are we sure on his first name?
Not so fast Bamboo ! Now that I have read the original post properly (it helps) I think, although there are some similarities, we might be looking at two different people? Arthur Edward Hyman #3265 DCLI Born Staines, Middlesex Attested Bodmin 26.1.1891 aged 18y 4m Died 21 March 1951, Cambridge Father is William Hyman, 19 Colm Rd, Twickenham Elder brother William Hyman, Coldstream Guards. Wife is Emmeline White, married 18.4.1899 Sheffield Child is Roland William born 23.4.1899 Sheffield
England & Wales, Civil Registration Birth Index, 1837-1915 Name: Albert Edward Hyman Registration Year: 1874 Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar Registration district: Staines Parishes for this Registration District: View Ecclesiastical Parishes associated with this Registration District Inferred County: Middlesex Volume: 3a Page: 11 England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007 Name: Albert E Hyman Death Age: 94 Birth Date: abt 1874 Registration Date: Jun 1968 Registration district: Surrey Northern Inferred County: Surrey Volume: 5g Page: 195 Have searched 1873 +/- 1 year and cannot find an Arthur being born in UK, so I can only assume the Arthur noted as a Chelsea Pensioner in post 3 is a transcribing error. I would think that if Kerry contacts the Royal Hospital then they will have records of him and be able to check the information. Tony - I think the man in your post 13 is one and the same man TD

Tricky, I don't believe the Chelsea record is a transcription error as it matches the service record for #3265 Arthur Edward Hyman. I think that I have managed to trace Arthur from his baptism record at Stanwell on 6.6.1873, have seen his marriage certificate to Emmeline on 18.4.1899 at Brightside, Sheffield and his death certificate on 21.3.1951 at 2 Portugal Place, Cambridge. His occupation in 1911 and his death certificate was cook. I think his GRO birth is 1871 Q2, Staines It is Arthur all the way so I think that we need Kerry to respond and reconfirm the name, perhaps some of the above may ring a bell. I will not post any of the above details in case Arthur is the wrong man.
