Can anyone help, possibly with a FMP record?

I'm looking for a marriage for Herbert Haughton Hill, born about 1865. He was in the army. All I know about his wife is her initials, A M A (taken from 1911 Irish census) born c1871. They also had two children in egypt, Herbert James and Arthur.

thanks for any help.

Andy

Says he was 24yrs 6 mths on enlistment & was a traveller for a Brewery.
Died at Lower Topa, Murrell Hills of "Acute Peritonitis". Wonder if they couldn't read the cause of death? Age doesn't tally with the burial record, but the date of death is the same.
Promoted through the ranks - Bombardier, Corporal & finally Sergeant.

Got it right on the DC

Many many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to post. This is excellent research!

So their marriage was India not Egypt, they got around in the army. There is a reference to Herbert being in the 11th Hussars in the Chelsea Hospital records in 1905.

Lots to be working on.

Thanks once again.

Andy

Harriet and Herbert are on the electoral registers between 1921 and 1931 at 2 Belmont Villas, Bellevue Road, Aldershot. Herbert James is on some of the records.

Herbert Hill married a great aunt of my wifes in 1931 in Surrey and thats the link I'm working on. This new info will let me get into the family. There may be a small DNA link.
