  • army records c.1861

    where would i find these? i have peter ford, b.1835, hawkesbury/wickham in gloucester. he was an artillery gunman at sheppey in sheerness, kent in 1861.
    he is missing from 1841-51 census, and i have yet to get his marriage cert, but where could i see if he has army records?

    I guess this is him on the 1881 census:

    Peter Ford, 46, bc1835, Head, spouse - Elizabeth, Born - Hawksbury, Gloucestershire, Civil Parish- Chapel Allerton, Yorkshire, 59 Victoris St, Occ-Gardener, Leeds, Chapeltown.

    Others in house: William T 22, Harriet A 20, Peter John 18, Arthur P 14, Alfred 12, Edith M 9, Frank 7, Lilian 4 (all Fords) and Mary Saynor 70

        As he seems to be in Leeds in 1881 could this be his marriage?

        Peter Ford, 1858, Q1, Leeds, Vol 9b, Page 256

        There are 4 on the page:

        Elizbeth Ambler
        Peter Ford
        George Thompson Smith
        Sarah Steels

        Could it be Elizabeth Ambler he married? (unless of course you already have this information).

            thank you all. i only know what info is from the 1861 census. i guess he married elizabeth ambler in leeds in 1858, it is the only marriage of a peter ford to an elizabeth in the time frame. they were married at st peter's in leeds, like peter's daughter, so im thinking it is a good one.
