Dear Lindsey, oh wow thank you for your speedy reply .
Walter was in the east kensington regiment .He joined up when he was 14 or 15 years old, so that information fits in well.Not sure about the Joseph white family I would be very interested in receiving the Army records though. Thankyou again .you have found information I just haven't been able to find Jane and Mark

I think the fact the army records name annie and selina pretty much assures the right man , he was in S Africa 1899-1902, and even though the faher has been crossed out to add a new wife it still looks like J ...ph
Seeing that Dad ended up in an assylum perhaps he felt he should upgrade his dad on the marriage cert ! I'll have a look see if I can find a death,

Mark, That would be the East Kent Regiment, also known as the "Buffs".

Good Luck
