Lately most of my spare time has been taken up with family history, it`s addictive!
I`ve recently discovered my Great Grandfather`s army service record on www.findmypast.co.uk and managed to confirm a family story that he fought in the Boer War! And he had a brother listed on his next of kin that we were unaware of!
This was particularly satisfying because he doesn`t appear on the 1901 UK Census, despite a note from his wife on the 1901 Irish Census (he was from Cork City) saying he was in England?
