Hi David,
I'd be very interested to know what you can find re his Military record, and from which site, please. I use both Ancestry & FMP, albeit only the free Library versions, and I have a particular interest in military research and indeed have spent time researching other local Lanes in this respect. It seems to me that altho' Ancestry seem to have the majority of "basic" Army Records covered, more so than FindMyPast, occasionally additional perhaps key details can be obtained from FMP for the same soldier.

That said, my own quick search of FMP for George Lane doesn't in this case seem to give records for him, sadly, but worth further investigation once you have his Army number etc.

If you know what Regiment he served in etc I might well be able to give you some background info if you want it.
