Birth of Charles Wregg (or Wragg) in 1824

[Doddie]

Hi, a bit of a random one this. Charles Wregg (or Wragg) was born at sea in 1824. I Have up till now given up any hope of finding any more information about his birth. However, I have recently discovered that Charles' father Peter was a gunner with the Royal Artillery. As far as I can ascertain, Charles was baptised in January of 1824 at the Royal Artillery Barracks on Artillery Place, Woolwich. It states on the baptismal record that he was baptised in "January, born January". I am wondering if records for the Royal Artillery will reveal the activities of the regiment and thus where at sea Charles was born.

Regards

Do you know which Company of the 8th Battalion Peter served with?
The link below gives a table of the 19th century stations for the 8th Battalion of the RA.

Scroll down to Chapter VIII then to page 140 onwards. Page numbers are on the right.

How do you know he was with the 8th battalion?

There was a Peter Wragg of a similar age who served with the 4th and 8th battalions, but he was from Matlock Derbyshire, and he returned there after being pensioned off, where you can follow him in the census.  So this is not the correct man.

Do you have Peter Wragg's marriage record of 1822?   -- This may mention his battalion.

Any of the other children's baptism records may mention his battalion
(The daughter Margaret Ann Wragg baptised 1831 in Harwich, Essex
Baptism record just has father as Royal Artillery)


What information did you get from his death certificate?
