Unable to find anything after the marriage, and not found Wallace Russell in CWGC.

Pretty sure Wallace Russell was in the 1st Medium Regiment RCA, after having a search. But still not finding much else.

So maybe he was of Canadian birth.

There was a witness at the marriage, James H. Russell. Maybe a brother.?

They just disappeared Steve.

And most of the online records finish around or not much before the year they married.

Is this her father's death?

Name: Arthur John M Tarrant
Birth: date
Death: dd mm 1986 - city, Hampshire, England

If so i wonder if a death notice can be found for him, might have info on the family.

A gunner? Would that be in planes?

Wonder if dropping this lot a email would be worth it. They might have at least a record of whether he stayed in England or returned to Canada

A gunner usually means the artillery Gibbo. Are you sure that he was Canadian? Looking at the writing could it read Cam ... Cambridge? Just a thought.

Nope im not sure his Canadian, Im not sure of anything, im just throwing stuff up hoping something might turn up :biggrin:

I think Steve is right about 1st Medium Regiment RCA.

If you Google '1st cambridge medium regiment' you get Canadian.

If you Google 'medium regiments' you get Canadian and Australian.

I suppose the only real hope, is if someone finds these names by doing an internet search.
I can't find nowt else.

Hi Emily.

As you can tell, this thread is 4 years old, almost, and I have gained a few bits of information since.
But as they say.....'You can never have too much'.

These individuals are part of a tree I did for a friend who lives in Ireland. Patricia Elizabeth Tarrant would be a first cousin.

Her sister, Moya June Tarrant married a Richard Henry Mills, and my friend has since met their descendants in England.

Please do not post any information of living relatives on here, so could you please PM (Private Message) me, once you have made a couple more posts.


Steve.
