    Exclamation Thomas Patrick Gregory

    Hi,
    My name is Michelle Allis (nee Gregory) and I am looking for any info on my ggrandfather, Thomas Patrick Gregory who was born in Ireland about 1890 and then moved to South Africa. There is hearsay that he was from |Donegal but I have no idea how true that is. Any help would be appreciated.
    Also my husband's ggrandfather George Leornard Rodgers from England who went to South Africa as a British soldier and stayed there, marrying and starting a family. He was born around 1875 and died 1928.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Michelle.

    Hello Michelle

    Shot in the dark...............I think this is the correct one, he has served in RSA WO97 5802/135 Royal Artillery & WO97 3790/96 Cheshire Regiment.
    from PPV site army record select Military from the tool bar or NAtional Archives

    I am unable to find a birth entry for George Leonard RODGERS, but a quick look at the latest census indicates that there is a later generation with the same name!

    He is from Clown nr Chesterfield Derbyshire
