Hi Ken.
Thank you for that information.  I am no where near the Record Office I live in Australia.  If only I was in England, I could go searching at the Archives.
On the 1851 census it says James LARKIN was in the Royal Sappers & Miners, but I don't know if that is the company or whether there is another name FOR THE Actual company he was in.
Find my Past sounds like a good option, I will take a look at that site, and see how I go.
Thank you once again your advice is much appreciated.
Regards and Happy researching  TRISH

Hello fellow researchers,

    The town is Chatham not Chatton, Brompton Barracks where James LARKIN was I have been told is now the RE Museum.

Thanks to a fellow researcher, I am looking at the Re Musuem for James LARKIN, hopefully there will be some good news from that source.

Armed Forces / Royal Sappirs and Miners KENT
« on: Sunday 11 October 09 08:14 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for help with a James LARKIN aged 22 years born in Mayo Ireland.  He was a Corporal in the Royal Sappers and Miners in the 1851 census with his wife Susan Aged 22 years she too was born in Ireland. The census was taken in Gillingham Brompton Chatton in Kent in 1851.  I can't find him or his wife in the 1861 census, and wonder is there any way to find records of this mans army papers.
I am trying to connect him to a William James LARKIN who was in Australia this William LARKIN was born in 1854, going on his Railway Employers papers.  [Not sure where maybe England. nothing here for him in Aust.]
Any ideas of where to start would be appreciated.

 :)Yes Cando, it all takes time, to get the file do the work, so really I suppose it is not expensive in the big picture.
Take care  TRISH

You were lucky Jean, I too remember not too long ago when the National Archives, would scan an image and put it online for FREE now there is also a charge with them.  So I expect it is all the same with Libraries and Archives these days.
Take care TRISH

Thanks Cando,
I may have to contact them to do the copy it is $13.50 for only one page . They told me I can have up to 1-50 pages in the one file for $13.50.  Seams a lot for one page, cheap for 50 pages.  However it is cheaper than going to Canberra.
Thanks Regards TRISH
