Many thanks to all who have posted their thoughts and help.  Ken's post indicates that it may prove difficult/impossible to search further back due to the lack of records being available.  Any suggestions on websites which could be of help or is it a case of point my efforts to searching another strand of the family.

I did, i found papers relating to his discharge.  I was hoping to find papers relating to him joining as i hoped they would have some detials of his parents and confirmation of his birth place.  Every census i have found shows he was irish but it is so difficult to trace his family.  Every time i find a website relating to irish searches i never come across the surname of Wilkie.  I have wondered if indeed he was from Ireland but why would every census state this if it wasnt true.  He is begining to frustrate the life out of me!!!

My g g grandfather Andrew William Wilkie was born in ireland c 1837 and served in the 25th regiment of infantry. I have found records on find my past for his discharge, does anyone know how i can find his registration documents or any information at all.  He is proving to be a difficult 'character' to trace.  I would love to see a photo or any documents that would help with my search for his parents etc in Ireland.

This is my first post on Roots so any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
