i got this iinformation about the south wales borderers from ancestry. they give correct parents,place and dob so this is undoubtably my g g grandfather but we always thought he was in royal field artillery. also he was working in cusop brickworks nr hay-on-wye when the second boer war was on and his eldest son also william was born in 1902. the period 1884 to 1898 is difficult to find.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you are saying here, was your great grand father employed, actually working at a brickworks, during the Anglo Boer War?

i will recheck with ancestry , but almost certain this is correct. the ancestry page with his info brings you to a page i am having difficulty getting into bt it is certainly him. by the way he was married three times
