Biography Of Richard Moles | Client Comments
Thank you very much Richard, Dad's details they arrived this morning. I cannot thank you enough as I have gone down too many dead ends trying to find out about him and this has given me more information than I could have hoped for. You have been professional, understanding and prompt in your services and I would recommend you to anyone wishing to research war records. Thanking you
Patricia Hegarty, Bristol, Avon 26th Jun. 2007.
I received the result of your research today and I would just like to thank you. It is indeed disappointing that you were unable to find Fred's service records but I'm happy to know that they were most likely destroyed. I plan to write up a summary of Fred's life and present it to my Grandpa. I think he'll be just as pleased as I am with what you have found. I also plan to have a copy kept with Fred's medals, although I'm not sure what happened to his SWB.I would also like to say that the service you provide is invaluable to people like me who would find it difficult to get to the National Archives. It was a pleasure to be able to speak to someone who has a genuine interest and obvious enthusiasm for what they do. Thank you very much.
Rebecca Wilcox, Carlisle, Cumbria 26th Jun. 2007.
I want to thank you most sincerely for your letter dated 8th June reporting on your enquiries concerning Sergeant Patrick McGrath. While it is disappointing that his service record was lost in the Blitz, none the less, what you have located is more than the family ever knew and is extremely interesting.
Gerry Carroll, Dublin Ireland 14th Jun. 2007.
Just to let you know that the research you did on George Blackham and William Spann arrived safely this morning and I am delighted with the results. I cannot believe that my wife and I have been lucky enough to find the records for three out of our four grandfathers brilliant and very many thanks for your hard work.
Terry Nixon Wetherby West Yorkshire 21st May 2007.
Thanks very much for the package of information you sent. The quality of info received was far better than I expected & has given me a lot to digest. I have now been able to find census records from 1891 and 1901 & have already discovered another child born in Forfar & have learned that my great Grandmother was only 14 when she married!
Robert Whinnett Co. Waterford Ireland 15th May 2007.
A really interesting search on Great Grandfather - thanks. Your piece from the "History of the Prince of Wales Leinster Regiment" was quite a find. Thanks again. I am really pleased that I carried out the search.
Jonathan Scott Barber Kenninghall Norwich 11th May 2007
Received your package yesterday through the post. Very pleased with the info you provided. Many thanks for your efforts and prompt service.
Dave Carver Oxford 29th Apr.2007
I received your research on Saturday 7th Apr. I am sorry I did not get back to you sooner. But I just wanted to say thank you so much for the information you sent to me. I am absolutely delighted with it as I am sure my Dad will also. You will certainly get my recommendation should anyone I know be searching for their ancestors.
Sandra Coady-Redmond Birmingham West Midlands 16th Apr. 2007
Received your package yesterday, wonderful. Thank you so much. My mother is just thrilled to finally have some information on her father.
Dorothy Woodward Ontario Canada 11th Apr. 2007
Very many thanks for your report on, and the military record of, my grandfather Charles Mealing. It is brilliant and I am delighted - love your business graphic by the way. I hadn't realised that the military record would be so comprehensive and it allowed me to fill in a lot of blanks on my grandfather and got rid of a lot of question marks. Once again, many thanks, this was a brilliant success.
Terry Nixon West Yorkshire 8th Apr. 2007
I would like to thank you very much for the case study carried out for me. The presentation was excellent and well laid out. It was indeed a stroke of luck with the medals that enabled the story to be found. If it wasn't for your endeavours in Kew, pointing me in the right direction with the records in Glasgow & then getting the subsequent war diaries, there would always have been a part missing from my family story. I'll certainly be recommending you to anybody looking for their own WW1 soldier's story.
Neil James Johnston Pembrokeshire Wales 4th Mar. 2007
John O'Neill here, I received the correspondence today and I must say I am overwhelmed and overjoyed to receive this information. And I would just like to say on behalf of myself and my family thanks a million.
John O'Neill, Napier, New Zealand 30th Dec. 2006
Just to let you know that I received the documents in the post yesterday. I would just like to say thank you for all of your hard work and it is much appreciated by my family.
Jacinta Larkin. Dublin, Ireland 12th Dec. 2006
I just wanted to let you know that I received the information. I found it fascinating looking through everything and I can't explain the feeling I had knowing I was related to this man. The best bit is I told my Grandmother when I received it and she is over the moon, I can't wait to bring it to her. Thank you so much Richard for a great job.
Shirley Barnes, Co. Kildare, Ireland 20th Oct. 2006
The results really pleased me. Just finding out his service number was more than I imagined possible, but to obtain the Boar War medals was the cream on the cake. I am absolutely delighted with your efforts. I have the Regimental history and can now place my Grandfather on the pages and in the situations. My very real thanks and best regards.
Chris Allen, Dorset 29th Sept. 2006
It has just arrived and it's wonderful I knew a lot of the history he would tell me when I was little all about India he loved it there and always bemoaned the fact that curry was non existent in the Ireland of the 50s thank you again for all your work. I shall enjoy reading and studying it.
Mary Evans, Swindon 20th Sept. 2006
I have received you letter and copies in the post and I must say I'm quite overwhelmed by it all. You say it is only a small and damaged file but there seems so much information to digest! Considering we only knew that my Great Grandfather had fought in the war in France and only had a couple of his medals, to read all that you have found has been quite awesome. It really created a much more detailed picture of what happened.
Sarah Hill, Worcestershire - Aug. 2006
Thank you for your report, received to-day along with the Handley page data most welcome. A short career
but one of which my father was proud. In any event I am delighted to receive the report and I enjoyed talking with you about the matter. I compliment you on your specialist standing and on your diligence in providing such an efficient service.
Dan Collins, Dublin, Ireland 11th Aug. 2006
I just wanted to write to you to thank you very much for taking up the research. Finding out that I have ancestors that were involved in such historic moments as the Battle of the Somme and ANZAC Cove was very exciting. I have to admit, I didn't expect to receive anything as personal as the letters handwritten by my Great-Grandfather Martin Gaffey. They were actually very moving. Once again thank you for the excellent work.
Neil Richardson, Dublin, Ireland 9th Aug. 2006
I can't thank you enough I am delighted with the information. I was not expecting it to arrive so quickly. If I come across anyone else who would benefit from your services I will highly recommend you.
Joanne Kearns, Co. Derry, Ireland 20th Jul. 2006.
Thank you so much for the research you did for me. I highly recommend you to anyone who is seeking answers about their military ancestors. The information I got really helped me to finish the WW1 chapter on my Grandfathers side of the family tree. Once again Richard it was an honour having someone as trustworthy and reliable as yourself, it is so hard finding people like you these days.
D. Nugent, Co. Meath, Ireland 24th May. 2006.
Just to let you know I am thrilled to bits with the info you sent me. I cannot believe how much there was. Still cannot take it all in I will be reading it for days. I would definitely recommend you to other people.
Vanda Bridgens. Manchester 22nd Apr. 2006.
Many thanks for a prompt and professional service. I would recommend your excellent services to anyone. While it was disappointing that the Main Service Record could not be found. Your research provided fascinating new background on my Great-Uncle. I can now go to visit his grave in Northern France with a fuller picture of his short life and death.
Linda Giles, Co. Down, Ireland 4th Apr. 2006.
I acknowledge receipt of the results. Most grateful for these which exceeded my expectations? I look forward to perusing the documents in detail.

Mary Baron, Cambridge - 4th Mar 2005.
Everything arrived safely on Friday and thank you so much for your prompt service. The records are very interesting as to the location of the troops and this has piqued my interest. My husband will have to educate me on the battles I'm afraid. Thank you again and maybe in time I will find a few more for you to research.
Patricia Mannella, Ontario, Canada - 21st Mar 2005.
What can I say, many many thanks and have a great holiday. Very Best Wishes.

What a great service! Your research will enable me to continue tracing my family history. This could not have been achieved without your help. Very fast, efficient and friendly service. Highly recommended. Thank you for all your help.
Emma O'Brien, Devon - 26th Apr 2005.
Received your report this morning, I am over the Moon, this one has been keeping me awake and I could not explain it, however now I feel the missing piece's have been put in place. My sincerest thanks for the information and wonderful service.
John Burtenshaw, Yorkshire - 21st Jun 2005.
Thank you so very much for your research into the records regarding my Grandfather. They were most informative and give substance to a relative of whom I knew almost nothing. Once again many, many thanks for your report.
John Meehan FBCS CITP, Surrey - 22nd Jun 2005.
Received report today and superb as always.
Roger Griffiths, Norfolk - 8th Jul 2005
I am absolutely delighted with the records you found. The medical record were quite amusing as you suggested, first impression was he was a bit of a malingerer but I guess his time in India could have contributed plus a bit of the Old Irish Blarney thrown in too. Once again many thanks.
George Latham, Victoria, Australia - 12th Jul 2005.
Please accept my heartfelt appreciation of your dogged determination to uncover as much information as possible about my grandfather. The initial information I was able to provide you was meagre indeed, yet the abundance of information you have subsequently unearthed is amazing.
Frank Callaghan, London - 27th Jul 2005.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such an outstanding report. Now I have most of the story of my Grandfather and what his life was like back then, which will be added to my research. It was worth every penny, now I can research his Regiment while he was in India.
D. J. Harvey, Florida, USA - 25th Aug 2005.
Received the information today, I am Thrilled to be able to find out so much about my Great Uncle. My family tree is now complete and you sir, like I said before, are a scholar and a gentleman.
Dale MacRae-Barry, Windsor, Ontario - 17th Oct 2005
Very impressed with your work and will recommend you to anybody needing this kind of service Thanks.
Steve, Co. Durham - 27th Oct 2005
I can't believe my luck. He used to say I am not getting out of bed for Hitler and he never went to an air raid shelter. I guess the Luftwaffe did not have a bomb with his name on it, eh? They couldn't even hit his army records. Thank you again.
Conrad, Canada - 13th Dec 2005
The papers arrived today and I am very happy indeed!! Thank you very much for the fast and friendly service. I will indeed be in touch again if I need any further assistance.
Paul Dann, New South Wales, Australia - 9th Feb 2006
Thanks for the fascinating report. It really puts things in perspective for me. Pity my dear old Dad isn't around to see what you found. He'd have loved it.
Brian Tannan, County Meath, Ireland - 4th Jun 2004.
I found the work you did, for my wife and I in researching Royal and Merchant Navy records extremely useful. The details you uncovered gave us a fascinating insight into the past.
Rod Hutton, Aberdeen, Scotland - 22nd Sept 2004.
Wonderful news the papers arrived yesterday and I was so pleased with that information and now there's more unbelievable. Until now all I had was a tiny envelope with Michael's address on it and now there's all this.
Patricia Keiserman, Manhasset, New York - 11th Sept 2004.
I received your package today. I am over the moon Many Thanks.
Wally, Mid. Glamorgan, Wales - 28th Aug 2004.
Many thanks indeed for your phone call last night it was kind of you to respond so quickly and I was thrilled with your success in finding the elusive Glover J. Your own enthusiasm was a reflection of a true researcher.
Lindsay Robertson, Aberdeen, Scotland - 22nd Sept 2004.
How can I thank you enough, you have done a great job and I appreciate the effort. If anyone is in need of an excellent researcher, you will be my recommendation.
Mr T N Kavanagh, Victoria, Australia - 1st Nov 2004.
I was very pleased that I asked you to do the research rather than attempt to do it myself. Your explanation of the content of the documents was also very helpful. If I need any other research carried out in future I would not hesitate to contact you.

Sincere thanks for your prompt professional service. Your work on my behalf yielded new insights into my family history and your expert advice opened up new possibilities on my genealogical trail. Many thanks again.
P.J.Stevens, County Cork, Ireland - 2nd Feb 2005.
Thank you for uncovering a part of my family history unknown to me or my uncles. With only a name, birth details and the regiment I must admit I was sceptical. Apart from finding his service papers copying explanations and posting to me first class. Your follow up service answering any questions by return of e-mail was also very helpful. Many Thanks.
John Brown, Queensland, Australia - 16th Dec 2005.
I received your package in today's mail and I am thrilled to have all the printouts. I am planning to make a memorial scrapbook to my grandfather and the items you sent will figure greatly in it. You are doing a wonderful service for people like me. You really give these people a voice from the grave. Thank you again and God bless.
Kathleen, Canada - 5th Feb 2005.
