Thomas Donaldson

I was thinking that if you have his marriage certificate then you also must have his full name, birth date, and birth place on it as well. ANY info on the certificate a great clue and narrows the search as it's easier to eliminate any "Thomas Donaldson" who is not the correct gentleman, but regards cross reference him with the regimental number it's a given you've found him when you do.

That suggestion from Paul sounds promising, about the Legion Magazine and Lost Comrades Service. Sounds like a place to make queries that might pay off?

If you don't mind me asking before I inundate you with more search ideas (I should have asked this part first ... sorry ) Are you mainly wanting to find out about his military service, or do you hope for more personal history background on him so as to verify relatedness etc? ( sounds very much to me like you are hoping for more personal history and verification of relatedness etc )
