John Charles Hill: addresses of next of kin in military papers

posted Monday, 25 May 2009

In his military papers relating to service with the RWK Regiment between 1908 and 1920, John Charles Hill, my great-uncle, gives names and addresses of next of kin.

In 1908 these included his mother Elizabeth Mrs Evans at 14 Beechfield Road; his married sister Charlotte Clark at the same address; another married sister Susan Stocking (my great-grandmother) at 60 (16?) Beechfield Road and brothers George E Hill at 86 Rolls Road Bermondsey and William Hill, 23 Malby Road, Bermondsey.

Later details show his mother crossed out (presumably after her death in 1911) and, finally, 'wife', with an address in Thomas Street, Dublin. On discharge in 1920, his address is given as 6 Pimlico Cottages, Pimlico, Dublin (no.2 Pimlico Cottages is currently offered for sale, and shows a small 19th century building).
