thanks for the tips and advice girls, yes, when I though about Ireland I guessed that it was around the time of the famine, and all the problems with the British, I will do a search on the Archive site anyway, as I don't know how long he would have served for. Thanks again, really do appreciate your input.

If he was still serving in 1872, his records won't be name searchable on the National Archives website - only those discharged up to 1854.

Lots of soldiers went to Ireland at that time - we owned the whole country then and so had army bases there. The irish famine was also about that period and uprisings. Have a google to read about it.

Have you tried putting his name in search on the National Archives site.You may get lucky and his Army records survive. I got my 5x grt grandfathers army records from them and he was in the Army from 1825 to 1849.
I ordered it online and it was sent in the post.

Thanks again Potty, just copied down all the info, yes I would agree about Emily's POB, will have to find out what was going on in Ireland at that time, as to why the father was there, it will be interesting to find out, if possible about his life as a soldier. Thanks again yvette

Potty, thank you so much for all the information, It is so very very kind of you, It will take me a little bit of time to digest it all, Thank you for trying to help me, I appreciate it so much

Given Emily's POB, I would say it is very possible that her father was a soldier.

Only Mary Cramp of aprox right age living in the area in 1871. Address is Station Road (No number):

Tried to find her in 1861; record is coming up showing Mother as Ann (Carmp) but I cannot get the image to come up to show whether Ann is married.

Hi Jackie, thanks, well the info that is on the marriage cert is as follows,

1872, William Henry Faulkner, marrying Mary ann cramp, both resident in Merstham, full age. Marys father is Edward cramp occupation listed as soldier, Williams father James- ag lab. the witnesses are James Bashford and Esther Faulkner. So Marys father may not have been present at the wedding, I guess he may have been stationed elsewhere,
Thanks for reading, any tips gratefully received!

Yvette
Can you provide more details post all the info that is on the marraige cert and I am sure somebody somewhere on here will be able to help

Jackie

I have just received my gt gt gmothers marriage cert, she married in Merstham in Surrey in 1872, and her fathers occupation is listed as a soldier, how would I find out about him, i.e was there a barracks in that area, that sort of thing, any ideas?
thanks so much, yvette
