« on: Saturday 10 June 17 20:20 BST (UK) »
Hi
I'm looking for some army records for Hugh Parker, I've been thinking maybe his Dad also Hugh Parker may have been Army based or a traveller. Hugh Parker was the illegitimate child of Hugh Parker and Alley Turner, all the documents i have found he has used his fathers name but may have used his mothers.
I have a few records for him but nothing between the baptism and joining the army, can't find any army records. The army details i have come from ancestry, someone else has a letter with these details on, think he said he was given the letter from a family member but doest know much about it (i have attached the letter). I Know he spent a lot of time in India.
Here's what i know.
