    Hs service record will be at The National Archvies (TNA), Kew in document class WO97 - see TNA's online reseach guides for more information - this one in particular may be of use https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/c...?sLeafletID=14

    Other leaflets on the site may also be of interest.

    Birth of his children will be recorded in either the Regimental Registers of Births 1761-1924, or Army Chaplains' Returns of Births 1796-1880. The indexes are online at 1837online - a pay-per-view site (they are under Overseas records on this site). When you find an entry of interest, you can order a copy of the certificate from the GRO.
