I wonder if someone can help me with a Robert ALLEN who was in the army?
The one I am interested in was as follows in 1881:
name: Robert Allen
age: 20
birthplace: Wainstead, Essex, England [NOTE: I assume Wanstead, in West Ham RD]
relationship to head of household: Soldier
marital condition: Single
profession/occupation: Private
address: 1st Battalion 5th Fusiliers Cambridge Brks
census place: Portsmouth, Hampshire, England
the national archives reference: RG11
piece/folio: 1151 / 33
page number: 3
However, I cannot find an obvious birth record although on FMP there is a poss. army record of a Robert ALLEN born 1860 Portsmouth (and a few others where no birth date or location given). Is this one in the 5th Fusiliers?
I would be keen to know if a wife or children are mentioned on the army record and if he was in Ireland around 1890/91
Thanks to anyone who might help
