Military Record
« on: Thursday 21 April 16 12:39 BST (UK) »
Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone is researching a Francis Paterson, born abt 1870, Francis was 18 yrs. & 3 months of age when he enlisted in the Gordon Highlanders, in Aug 1888. His record shows he came from Tighnabruaich. I have his service record. I obtained it in error, whilst researching, my own Francis Paterson,same regiment. Would be happy to pass it on to any researcher of this family.

Any idea of his parentage or place of birth etc.? Or maybe military records do not say. I have PATERSONs from Mull and Tiree. Thank you! - Mary
