  • Military Advice

    I just identified that my ggg grandfather was in the 3rd Hussars regiment as shown on the 1871 census. His name was William Beaumont b 1862. I would be interested to find out more about his military service but as yet have no idea where to look, any suggestions please?

    I have googled 3rd Hussars but nothing found of my specific interest.

    Thank you

    Can you confirm if the dates are correct? 9 was a bit young to be a soldier, even in those days.

    FMP do have some records for the 3rd Hussars, but there doesn't seem to be a William Beaumont listed.

      Sorry 188, typing error, albeit a very important one!

        Sorry, spoke too soon about the records on FMP; there is a William Beaumont listed for the 3rd Hussars. He doesn't come up if you specify 3rd Hussars in the search form, but he does if you don't specify a regiment. He was born in Hoxton, Middlesex in 1862. Is that your man?

          It is indeed! Is it only on FMP that the records are kept; I have only subs to Ancestry.

            Yes, but you don't actually need a sub, you can just buy a few credits.
