Hi
Does anybody have any information on the 7th Lanchashire artillery volunteers.
My ancestor Mary Hannah Sadler (Ollier) had four children. I have found the baptism records for these children and the fathers name was James Sadler. His profession on the baptism records is shown as drill instructor and later sergeant for the 7th Lancs Artillary volunteers. Their address at the time was Hyde Road, Ardwick, Lancashire (near Manchester) and I am despearte to find out more about Mr James Sadler. Their last child was born in 1898 and by the 1901 census he must have died because on the 1901 census Mary is shown as a widow. So far all I have is his name on the baptism records. I do not know of his birth, marriage or his death date. Would anybody know if his service records would still exist or where I could obtain copies?
Any help on discovering more about James Sadler would be gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Adam.
