My brickwall is my gggg grand parents Samuel & Ann Stowell. Their son Samuel, c1808 went to the Royal Military Asylum Chelsea from 1816 to 1822. According to his school details, his parents were Samuel & Ann & his father was in the Coldstream Guards (the school is only for the children of army personnel,so I am sure this is correct). When Samuel junior left the school, he was released to his father living at Castle Place, 4 Castle Lane Westminster, however, after that I can find no record of his parents. I thought that I had found Ann's death cert, but when I received it this morning(very quick for the GRO), I discovered that it was for a 3 yr old pauper child :(
When I was at Kew, I looked to find any record of Samuel snr in the Coldstream guards in the Muster rolls (WO12/1704 &1713) but found no trace of him. I know there are other Coldstream records, but am not expecting to get to Kew again for a long time.
Can anyone suggest anything I can do to find what happened to them please?
