I'm throwing this one out there as I've hit the proverbial Brick Wall!!
I'm looking for any military records that relate to my 5x Great Grandfather Samuel Sneyd, born Audley Staffs around 1754.
I have a couple of military records the first is his admission into the Royal Garrison Battalion in March 1783 after being wounded in Canada. The second is his discharge from the Royal Garrison Battalion in Chester in 1793.
What I'm trying to establish is, what Regiment was he serving with when he was injured in Canada, what action was it likely to have been in and where would I find any further records?
I've tried the usual suspects but they come up with the two that I already have. Seaching for the RGB on the web doesn't really help that much either!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
