Where can I find a register of boys from 1848 to 58 age 5-15 looking for information on William James Roe 1843-1896 Born Poonah India but listed at Royal Military Asylum Chelsea at some point.
And any information on campaigns for his father

Reference: LH/X/73/76

Not sure if this is helpful but found this on the National Archives site

And the address for the Royal London Hospital Archives is 9 Prescot Street London E1 8PR

In the 1861 England Census he is listed as a monitor at Royal Military Asylum, Chelsea.
Do you have access to Ancestry? There are a couple of trees there with photographs and information on William and his father.
