1881 44 Hill Street, Newington, Walworth, Surrey 1891 No 19 Block I Waterloo Square, Camberwell, London (Indexed as HOLDON) The information on the census is confusing Charles H HOLDON (50) Head Married, Dealer born Clerkenwell, Middlesex Henry HOLDON (16) Son Errand Boy born Bermondsey, Surrey (only it shows Middlesex) Alfred C HOLDON (10) Son Scholar born Middlesex Ann C MILEMAN (50) Mother Tailoress born Hendon, Middlesex Beatrice MILEMAN (14) Daughter Scholar born Southwark, Surrey (only it shows Middlesex) Thomas MILEMAN (10) Son Scholar Camberwell, Surrey (only it shows Middlesex) William MILEMAN (8) Son Scholar Middlesex, Edith MILEMAN (5) Daughter Scholar Camberwell, Surrey (only it shows Middlesex) Charles HOLDOM's mother was Jessica HOLDOM née HARRIS. Charles's wife was a MANSFIELD so the description of Ann C MILEMAN as "mother" is misleading. She is Ann Clark MILEMAN née WILLIAMS mother of Emilt MILEMAN who in 1896 married Henry HOLDOM, the son of Charles listed above. 1896 23 Loneroft?

This medal was awarded to all who received the 1914 Star or 1914-15 Star and, with certain exceptions, to those who received the British War Medal. It was never awarded alone. These three medals were sometimes irreverently referred to as Pip, Squeak and Wilfred. Eligibility for this award consisted of having been mobilised, fighting, having served in any of the theatres of operations, or at sea, between midnight 4th/5th August, 1914, and midnight, 11th/12th November, 1918. Women who served in any of the various military organisations in a theatre of operations were also eligible. British War Medal From the information available to us, it is very possible that James William FOOT was entitled to the British War Medal for service in World War One. This British Empire campaign medal was issued for services between 5th August 1914 and 11th November 1918. The medal was automatically awarded in the event of death on active service before the completion of this period. Service: British Army Regiment: King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry during World War 1 Since 1815 the balance of power in Europe had been maintained by a series of treaties. In 1888 Wilhelm II was crowned ‘German Emperor and King of Prussia’ and moved from a policy of maintaining the status quo to a more aggressive position. He did not renew a treaty with Russia, aligned Germany with the declining Austro-Hungarian Empire and started to build a Navy to rival that of Britain. These actions greatly concerned Germany’s neighbours, who quickly forged new treaties and alliances in the event of war. On 28th June 1914 Franz Ferdinand the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne was assassinated by the Bosnian-Serb nationalist group Young Bosnia who wanted pan-Serbian independence. Franz Joseph, the Austro-Hungarian Emperor (with the backing of Germany) responded aggressively, presenting Serbia with an intentionally unacceptable ultimatum, to provoke Serbia into war. Serbia agreed to 8 of the 10 terms and on the 28th July 1914 the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia, producing a cascade effect across Europe. Russia bound by treaty to Serbia declared war with Austro-Hungary, Germany declared war with Russia and France declared war with Germany. Germany’s army crossed into neutral Belgium in order to reach Paris, forcing Britain to declare war with Germany (due to the Treaty of London (1839) whereby Britain agreed to defend Belgium in the event of invasion). By the 4th August 1914 Britain and much of Europe were pulled into a war which would last 1,566 days, cost 8,528,831 lives and 28,938,073 casualties or missing on both sides. The Regiment raised 23 Battalions, awarded 26 Battle Honours and 8 Victoria Crosses during the course of the war. 1/5th Battalion Territorial Force 04.08.1914 Stationed at French Gate, Doncaster as part of the 3rd West Riding Brigade of the West Riding Division and then moved to Doncaster and then on to Gainsborough. Feb 1915 Moved to York. 12.04.1915 Mobilised for war and landed in France. 12.05.1915 Formation became the 148th Brigade of the 49th Division which engaged in various actions on the Western Front including; 1915 The Battle of Aubers Ridge, The defence against the first Phosgene attack. 1916 The Battle of Albert, The Battle of Bazentin Ridge, The Battle of Pozieres Ridge, The Battle of Flers-Courcelette. 1917 Operations on the Flanders Coast (Hush), The Battle of Poelcapelle. 1918 The Battle of Estaires, The Battle of Messines, The Battle of Bailleul, The First Battle of Kemmel Ridge, The Second Battle of Kemmel Ridge, The Battle of the Scherpenberg, The pursuit to the Selle, The Battle of the Selle, The Battle of Valenciennes. 11.11.1918 Ended the war at Leforest north of Douai, France.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
