Title: Rifle Brigade Richmond Barracks Ireland
Post by: dottyaussie on Saturday 23 March 13 11:45 GMT (UK)
Hi I am trying to find out details about my GG Grandfather Henry Kelly. In 1894 he was a Lance Corporal in the Rifle Brigade Richmond Barracks Ireland, where his son George A Kelly was born. In 1886 he was in Aldershot and 1887-89 in Woolwich. The only census I have found him on is 1901 and I know he was deceased by 1913.
I would ideally like to get hold of his service record but don't know of any other details.

Thanks
Sandra
