David Lloyd Kinsey was born in Llanidloes, Montgomeryshire in 1881, the son of another David Lloyd Kinsey and his wife Mary Harriet (Pugh).
On Jun 25th 1900 he enlisted for 3 years in the Grenadier Guards and the 1901 census shows him based in the barracks at Windsor Castle.
On June 30th 1903 he extends his service to 8 years, but three months later he is convicted by the civil authorities for theft and fined. On Oct 3rd 1903 he is dishonourably discharged losing his entitlement to a pension.
On April 4th 1906 he emigrates to South Africa, disembarking at Cape Town.
Would love to hear from any descendants, or anyone who knows what became of him. He is my 4th cousin 2 removed.
