Armed Forces / Re: Kings Own Scottish Borderers, 25th regiment foot
« on: Tuesday 29 March 11 17:22 BST (UK) »
I'm so pleased to have found this thread!
Have my ggf's service record in 25th from FindMyPast and details of wife (Jane) and children from muster rolls & pay lists. He was James SULLIVAN, enlisted at Chatham in 1849 aged 14 and discharged from Buttevant in March 1875. What I can't find is a marriage record although in the pay lists it was quoted as 27 Feb 1855. I guess it would have been in India but don't know where to look.
The other problem is that James' youngest child Frederick SULLIVAN (my gf) was supposedly born in Buttevant in August 1875, five months after James was discharged to live in Cardiff. Would the birth still have been 'on the strength of the army'? Again,I can find no record. Any ideas, anyone?
