Hi all,


I have a mystery i really need help solving.

Edward Harkins Born 1842 wigton - Carlisle Cumberland, i have him in carlisle in 1851 and 1861 then in 1871 his in the census listed as a private royal marine in alverstoke his unmarried. But that is all i know. I am wanting to try and get a hold of his service details and also i Cant find a death certificate and as im currently living out the country its made it impossible for me to actually find anything else out.

I would ideally like to know when he joined? where he went and what happened to him?

If any one can help i would be greatful
