Hi Rai

I am unable to find any reference to him taking part in the Anglo-Zulu of 1879.

Major-General Aldred Frederick George Beresford Lumley, 10th Earl of Scarbrough, KG, GBE, KCB, GStJ (16 November 1857 – 4 March 1945) was a British peer and soldier. His first name is sometimes rendered as Alfred, not Aldred.

Lumley was the son of the 9th Earl of Scarbrough and was educated at Eton. He was Lord Lieutenant of the West Riding of Yorkshire from 1892 to 1904 and commanded the 7th Hussars, the Yorkshire Dragoons and the Yorkshire Mounted Brigade during the Boer War in 1900 and afterwards became an aide-de-camp to King Edward VII in 1902. He was Director-General of the Territorial Force until his retirement in 1921.

Rai. He appears to have served in the Boerwar. No reference to Zulu War.

Major-General Aldred Frederick George Beresford Lumley, 10th Earl of Scarbrough, KG, GBE, KCB, GStJ (16 November 1857 – 4 March 1945) was a British peer and soldier. His first name is sometimes rendered as Alfred, not Aldred. Lumley was the son of the 9th Earl of Scarbrough and was educated at Eton. He was Lord Lieutenant of the West Riding of Yorkshire from 1892 to 1904 and commanded the 7th Hussars, the Yorkshire Dragoons and the Yorkshire Mounted Brigade during the Boer War in
1900 and afterwards became an aide-de-camp to King Edward VII in 1902. He was Director-General of the Territorial Force until his retirement in 1921. on 8 April 1899, Scarbrough married [http://www.thepeerage.com/p7536.htm Lucy Cecilia Dunn-Gardner] (d. 24 November 1931), widow of Col. Robert Ashton (d. 1898) [Robert Ashton (1848-1898) was a second cousin of Thomas Gair Ashton, 1st Baron Ashton of Hyde (1855-1933), whose great-grandfather [http://www.thepeerage.com/p2987.htm#i29866 Samuel Ashton] (1742-1812) was his great-grandfather as well.] . His wife brought a stepson and stepdaughter to their marriage, and gave birth to a single daughter Lady Serena Lumley. Lucy was the daughter of Cecil Dunn-Gardner.

The Countess's father was probably Cecil Dunn-Gardner (b. 1827, possibly d. by 1880) [Date of birth listed in [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/accessions/1995/95returns/95ac12.htm the accessions list of the National Archives] . His library was [http://www.oldandsold.com/articles11/book-prices-7.shtml partly sold] in June 1880; such sales often took place after the death of the collector in question.] , formerly of the 13th light Dragoons. If the identification is correct, he was the third surviving son of the brewer John Margetts (d. 1842) and his bigamous wife Sarah Dunn-Gardner,

Marchioness Townshend, and the younger brother of John Dunn Gardner MP.
Scarbrough's stepdaughter Dorothy Violet Ashton (1885-1956) married in 1914 Lord Gerald Wellesley (1885-1972), who succeeded his nephew as Duke in 1943. The marriage was not a great success, but produced a son and daughter. The son is the present Duke of Wellington (b. 1915), still alive, in his nineties.
Scarbrough's own daughter [http://www.thepeerage.com/p7536.htm#i75354 Lady Serena Lumley] married 1923 the Hon. Robert James, and later refused the marriage proposal of her brother-in-law, by then Duke of Wellington. [For details, see the "Daily Telegraph" obituary of Lady Serena James, nee Lumley] . Her elder daughter Ursula James married David Allan Bethell, 5th Baron Westbury (1922-2001); their son Richard is the present 6th Baron.
Scarbrough was appointed Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire (GBE) shortly before his retirement from the Territorial Force in 1921 for his military service.

SANDBECK PARK
Near Tickhill, Yorkshire – Earl of SCARBROUGH


The situation of Sandbeck Park is very pleasant, quiet, and retired, and the “tout ensemble” of a thoroughly English character. A large herd of deer roam through a spacious park adorned with stately trees of ancient growth, while on one side is a large lake, and on another the elegant spire of Laughton-en-le-Morthen Church at no great distance comes into view. A handsome private chapel adjoins the house.

Did Sgt Edwin Norris no. 1816 of the 13th of Foot (1st Somersetshire Regiment ) serve actively in the A-Z War? Can anyone obtain his service record for me? Thank you kindly.

Hi Brian
I can't find an Edwin Norris in the 1/13th in the AZW medal rolls.
Just a hint it might be worthwhile opening a new thread for this chap with his name in the title and you may get more interest.
Kate

Hi All,
Edwin Norris is not on the 1/13th medal roll for the Zulu War, in 1871 he was a Private in the 1/13th stationed in Gibraltar.

The video covering the photo's posted above of General Lumley inspecting cadets can be found on YouTube

I don't know how credible Wikipedia is but I was directed from Peerage.com to it, and it lists the following:

Alfred Frederick George Lumley was Gazetted to the 7th Hussars in 1877. He initially served six years until 1883, and saw service in the Anglo Zulu war, 1st & 2nd Boer wars. He later served 1892 - 1921.
It lists his honours as follows:
Order of the Garter (KG)
Order of the British Empire (GBE)
Order of the Bath (KCB)
Order of St John (GCSTJ)
S A Medal 1879 with clasp
Queens S A Medal
Service medal of Order of St John
Territorial Decoration (For long Service) (TD)

He spent six years in between service traveling the world and was with the explorer Frank Linsly James when he was killed by an elephant in 1890, in Gabon.

Just a point on the above.

The Maj General Lumley married the widow of Colonial Robert Ashton, died 1898? Lucy Cecilia Gardner.

He had a daughter, Lady Serena Lumley.
He also had a illegitimate son, George Frederick Lumley. George 's mother, unnamed, 22years of age, was paid to migrate to Australia.
George married Elizabeth Jane McDonald in 1899 at Redfern, Sydney, NSW, Australia. They had three children:
Dr George Frederick Lumley
Ruth May Lumley - Shepherd
Elsie Florence Lumley - Smith
