St Helena British soldier & family 1810-1821
« on: Tuesday 10 April 18 21:56 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Im researching Edward George who was born on St Helena in 1815 to John and Isabella. I think John was a British soldier. Their eldest child was born in 1810 on St Helena. Where would i find further info about Johns army career please and as he was there 5 years before Napoleon arrived does this make it easier to narrow down what regiment he was part of? Thank you.
