Thank you all for your replies. I am really interested in the son, Charles Palmer. I think there is the possibility that he emigrated to Canada after WW1. David |

Salvation Army International Headquarters 101 Queen Victoria Street London EC4P 4EP They keep information on Officers but not soldiers they would be at local places, you may be lucky but I doubt if they keep them that long. I tried to find out about my grandfather about ww1 but no records were kept. sorry I can't help more Patricia |

There are records, did anyone see WDYTYA,some time ago,where one of the celebrities was shown all the records of his female relative from the SA,dates etc,even a photograph too,when she joined etc. I guess its finding them,so as suggested,google,SA records. Hope you get some info. Trish |

Yes, they tended to keep very comprehensive records - try a google search for Salvation Army Records. |

Davo: A few family members on my mum's side were in the Salvation Army (in Canada). I have a couple of obituary notices from the 1940's(50's?). I believe they were from the Army's newspaper, so there was a newspaper in Canada at least. Perhaps there might be some written information where Elizabeth lived? |

Does anybody know if there were lists of members of the SA? My ggf died in Norwich in 1878 aged 27 soon after my grandfather was born. His wife was a member of a Baptist Church in Norwich. The church records show that sometime later she left to join the Salvation Army. They do not say where. Later she remarried in Croydon. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Grimes, married name Elizabeth Plested, 2nd marriage was to Ernest Palmer in 1889 in Croydon, and they had a son, Charles Palmer in about 1890. In 1901 they were living in Aldershot. Are there any SA records of membership where I can find more about Elizabeth? |
