No worries  :)

I'm descended through his son, Joseph Wild, born in 1812 in Windsor whilst the Regiment were stationed in barracks there.

I've spent a lot of hours trying to sort out Joseph juniors rather complicated life! I've found out a lot since I first posted the original message in this thread.  In fact as I was trying to find Joseph seniors army records for you I stumbled upon something I hadn't known - Joseph junior was also in the Royal Horse Guards for several years!! So thank you for that - filled in a hole in my research.

Hi Jackie - sorry, the record set is actually called 'British Army Service Records'.

This link should take you to the 2 documents in find my past:

https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=GBM/WO97/0011/063/001&parentid=GBM/WO97/11/571792

And I just checked & you can only see member trees if you are a member yourself I'm afraid.

Cheers
Jillie

Hi Jackie

Gosh - long time since I wrote this post but fortunately I seemed to have set an alert on it somehow!

Interesting your husband is descended through Joseph Wild too - yes I knew about the horse being shot from under him - its written in his Chelsea Pensioner Records - now on findmypast and ancestry.

I have a tree on ancestry HORWOOD FAMILY TREE - my user name is jillieh1.

Cheers

What a lot happened over night! (I'm in New Zealand)

Thank you all so much for your time and efforts and I think you have cracked it Arthurk!

And yes Jennifer, Edward is the son of Samuel Horwood & Betsy West & died in the Middlesex Asylum in 1875.

Thanks again  :)

Thanks CarolA3 - that is very interesting.

I had thought Agness as well but thought it cant be, its a man! I didnt think of it being a surname! And the last digit confused me as well.  But if its a reference to the registrars note it makes a lot more sense!

I really don't know where they came from before London.

And hope his middle name is in full & not just an initial!!!

Even an initial would help with this!

Thanks again for your thoughts.

Its very frustrating as his middle name may give a clue as to his grandparents as I have a brick wall there on both sides.

I think I shall have to get another birth certificate.  I will ask about a better copy as well.

The underlining is very odd.  The other 'y's and 'g's dont have a backline, though he does use a forward line on his 'd's.

Thanks for your thoughts Kay99 & Ruskie.

The 'f' in Fifteenth looks like the 3rd letter from the end but I also though the old fashioned double ss was possible.
