Hi everyone, my dad and I have managed to trace back my great-great-great grandfather back to when he was in the Royal Marines in the 1880's. He came to Plymouth, where we live now, during the 1880's and have got a good idea of what he did and his service history and the consequent generations.
However we are having trouble finding what his father/mother's names were and any other information about them and i thought i'd post on this forum to see if anyone can help out in any way.
His birthplace is listed as Manchester, Lancashire. (Cant make out the first part, possibly Longsight?, definitely long...) and married Annie Lightfoot in Plymouth. We have addresses during his time in Plymouth but nothing before his move down from Yorkshire/Lancashire
We are new to tracing our family history so we are hitting quite a few dead ends. If anybody could help we would be very happy, seeing as we have gone quite far back already.
Will be happy to provide more information if you were able to help.
Thanks in advance, Lee
