Can anyone help with the Army records of this father and son.
James and son William Henry buried in Wrexham.
JAMES GORMAN, LATE OF R.W.FUS. WHO DIED MAY 25TH, 1883. AGED 46 YEARS.
Wm. HENRY (PITT) LATE BAND SERGT, 1ST R.W.FUS. WHO DIED NOV 14TH, 1906. AGED 33 YEARS.
In 1881 James 45 b Ireland is living in Wrexham he is a militia sergeant . His wife is Margaret.
there are William aged 8 , John aged 12 and others.
Also there is this child Ellen May Gorman, birth reg 1880 J qtr Wrexham mmn TAYLOR
According to 1881 all children were born Ireland, but this looks like a lazy enumerator as in 1891 there is John 22 b Newport Monmouthshire with Margaret still in Wrexham.
I have this found this birth registration
William Henry Gorman birth 12 Jul 1873 :Kildare, Ireland
Father: James Gorman Mother: Margaret Taylor
