Find Ancestors

I have ancestors with this surname who were from the Chester and wider Cheshire area. I wondered whether anyone also has this name in their tree and whether any member served in the armed forces during WW1.
My main connections appear to have been Birkenhead and Chester.
Here's hoping and thanks for looking.
Harpist.

I see that you have Emma Candeland born 1883 in your GR tree - can't see a birth to match

This one is in your tree

There is this baptism for Emma but I can't see a registered birth for her:-

First name(s) Emma
Last name Candeland

Baptism year 1872
Baptism date 15 Dec 1872
Place Birkenhead, St Peter

Mother's first name(s) Charlotte
Record set Cheshire Diocese of Chester parish baptisms 1538-1911

Subcategory Parish Baptisms

Perhaps her birth wasn't registered as there were no penalties for not registering a birth until after 1875. It would seem strange though, as her older sister Eliza WAS registered.

So it looks like the OP's tree info is inaccurate.................if Emma was born 1872

That won't help him/her with making connnections

Maybe just a typing error - we all make them, lol.

The Emma Jane birth looks like the right one ArgyllGran. I don't know why it didn't come up for me when I tried earlier but it is there now :-S

Sorry not to have got back to you all sooner, but my internet connection has been down and a few other problems as well.
Anyway thank you all for your replies. First of all Jane Candelanmd was my grandmother and Arthur the blacksmith and coal dealer was my Gt grandfather.
I think that Peter Candeland was from another branch of the family, not mine.
My main interest at the moment is which of the men in my family were in WW1.
I know definitely that one of Jane's sons was in the 17th/21st Lancers, but details are sketchy - even his own daughters don't know about his army career.
I belive that possibly one of the Candeland sons was in the Royal Navy and stationed at Plymouth where there are still some of that name today apparently.
Thank you again. Kind regards to all,
Harpist.
