Hi Squinth,
I suppose you know the 3rd. foot guards are known today as the Scots Guards and previously the Scots Fusilier Guards, They like all the other Guards Regiments have their HQ at Wellington Barracks, Birdcage Walk , London and help can be obtained there also.
 From the dates of his enlistment to demobilisation it is likely he fought in the Peninsular Campaigns in Spain and France.

He fought in the Peninsular War, being present at Talavera, Fuentes D'Onoro & Ciudad Rodrigo, according to the MGS medal roll.
Hence he was certainly still alive in 1848.
Name interests: Boulton, Murrell, Lock, Croxton, Skinner, Blewett, Tonkin, Trathen.
