I though that at marriage Lilian would possibly be too old to have a child, but I have found a death for a Lilian F BELSEY in June quarter 1953 in London City, which give an estimated birth date of 1893, so possibly she was a lot younger than her husband. 1926 163A Ground Floor, Dunstan's Road, Camberwell, London (London Electoral Roll) 1928 163A Ground Floor, Dunstan's Road, Camberwell, London (London Electoral Roll) 1929 163A Ground Floor, Dunstan's Road, Camberwell, London (London Electoral Roll) 1930 163A Ground Floor, Dunstan's Road, Camberwell, London (London Electoral Roll) 1931 163A Ground Floor, Dunstan's Road, Camberwell, London (London Electoral Roll) 1933 163A Ground Floor, Dunstan's Road, Camberwell, London (London Electoral Roll) 1934 163A Ground Floor, Dunstan's Road, Camberwell, London (London Electoral Roll) 1936 163A Ground Floor, Dunstan's Road, Camberwell, London (London Electoral Roll) 1937 163A Ground Floor, Dunstan's Road, Camberwell, London (London Electoral Roll) 1938 163a Ground Floor, Dunstan's Road, Camberwell, London (London Electoral Roll) 1871 5 Albert Street, Ramsgate, Kent.

Information from Forces War Records sent by John TERRY 29/10/2014 First Name: Ernest Edwin Initials: E E Surname: Belsey DOB: Circa 1891 Age: 26 Resided Town: Putney Nationality: British Date of Death: 11/11/1917 Fate: Died of Wounds Information: Brother of Mrs. Louisa Sandcraft, of 24, Schubert Rd., Putney, London. Native of Ramsgate. Rank: Lance Corporal Service Number: 351206 Duty Location: France And Flanders Campaign Medals: Victory Medal Given the information we have available it is likely that Ernest Edwin Belsey was entitled to the Victory medal, also called the Inter Allied Victory Medal. 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 Ernest Edwin Belsey 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: London Regiment London Regiment 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. 2/7th (City of London) Battalion Aug 1914 Formed in London and then moved to Burgess Hill to join the 174th Brigade of the 58th Division.

Jan 1916 Moved to Sudbury and then on to Foxhall Heath, near Ipswich and then Sutton Veny. 25.01.1917 Mobilised for war and landed at Havre and engaged in various actions on the Western Front including; 1917 The pursuit of the German retreat to the Hindenburg Line, The Battle of Bullecourt, The actions of the Hindenburg Line, The Battle of the Menin Road Ridge, The Battle of Polygon Wood, The Second Battle of Passchendaele. 1918 The Battle of St Quentin, The Battle of the Avre, The Battle of Villers-Bretonneux, The Battle of Amiens, The Battle of Albert, The Second Battle of Bapaume, The Battle of Epehy, The general final advance in Artois. 31.01.1918 Absorbed by the 1/7th Battalion at Domart. Information for other Battalions on Forces War Records web site Battalion: 2nd/7th Battalion Commemorated: Britain The information on this chart has been taken from the Family Tree of Donald KNIGHT on Ancestry.com. I have been in contact with him many times over the years, he lives only a short distance from me. Unfortunately he has not source information on this tree and I will go through and add additional information as I find it. At present I am only trying to get the basic information for all the families from READ Chart 0600.

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.
