National Archives Lookup
« on: Friday 11 May 18 09:05 BST (UK) »
Hello,

On the advice of a fellow member, I've been advised to post this request here.

If anyone is going to the National Archives anytime soon, can they look up the following record for me:

http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C10033196

It's the discharge or attestation papers of William Pepper, a Royal Marine from 1824 to 1843. Truth be told, I don't fully understand all the ranks and things of the record but the member said I should post this here as a lookup could provide more details.

Thanks,

Adam

Apparently it would cost £8.30 plus extra costs, which is reasonable. I'll try and secure some funds for it and send off soon.
