REPOSTED BY WEBMASTER DUE TO A TECHNICAL ISSUE

A. Pavett & R. Pavett
by ehewett » 15 Aug 2011 01:31 pm
Hi,
I have inherited several items formally belonging to my relation A. Pavett 4027 who fought in the Boer War. These items are a 7mm Mauser (still in use), Queens Medal, Sash & Sgt. Stripes. What I also have is the ribbon for the Kings Medal but no actual medal. Is there any way of tracking this down?
One thing that is confusing is the DOD. In the roll of honour it is stated 18/11/1901 but I have an autograph + photo in my grandmothers autograph book of Abraham Pavett dated 07/02/1909. Something must be wrong?

I am also informed that A. Pavett served in Canada & India, this could explain a gold coin I have coming from India. Is it possible to trace the movements whist in the regiment?

Also, his brother R. Pavett was awarded the DCM on 27/09/1901, any information would be most welcome.
Thanks,
EH

Hi,
Thanks for the information.
Could he have contracted the disease on 18 Nov 1901 at Heilbron but survived and transported back to England?

Intersting that there are names of the Boers in your information, the name on the Mauser rifle I have is J.C. DU PREEZ. Any history?

Hi Corona,
Very interesting - thank you. I didn't realise there was an Abraham Pavett Snr.
This would now explain the coin from India.
I don't know where the KSA ribbon came from, may it was Richard Pavett's?

Hi again Corona,
I've been digging a little and come to a problem. Abraham Pavett Snr. had six sons but the only A. was Albert. Are you sure there was an Abraham Pavett Jnr.?

Hi ehewitt,
Araham Pavett Jnr. was born 1874 in Templemore Ireland where the 29th Foot was stationed.
He is recorded on the 1891 Census as living with his father at Charles Street, Berkhampstead.
His death is also recorded on Berkhampstead Church Memorial.
Richard Pavett his brother, was also born in Ireland and appears on the 1891 Census living his
wife at Norton Barracks Worcester.
Regards, corona.

Hi ehewitt,
There appears on the Worcesters Medal Roll for South Africa 4328 Col.Sgt A A Pavett.
This could be Albert A Pavett recorded on the 1891 Census along with Abraham Snr. and Jnr.
