Robert William Dicks was born in Portsea in 1864; his mother was Elizabeth Dicks (no father on birth certificate). I can find no trace or record of him again until he married in Portsmouth in 1891.
Family history related that he was in the army (possibly working with horses) and was "with Lord Roberts in India". I can find no trace of an army record for him but I think that family history may well have been true. Where can anyone suggest I might look? If he was in India where should I try?
