Robert Gemmell, 92nd Gordon Highlanders, was my GG Grandfather. He was born 1835 in Paisley and died early 1900's. He served in India in the 1870's and in the 1st Boer War in 1880. He returned home about 1881. He was married to Christine Smith. Can anyone give me any info on his army records? Also, does anyone know his exact death date? Any help would be much appreciated.

If he returned home to Scotland, his death certificate should be on Scotlands People. I ran a quick check, and there are 5 death certificates for Robert Gemmell born 1935+/- 2 years - maybe you can narrow it down a bit, I don't have any spare credits to look.
Most military records are kept at the National Archives

Good luck,
