Hi Colin.
Thanks for your response. David Ross joined the Royal marine Artillery, he enlisted in 1847 in Glasgow and died at home in Portsea 1866. This was recorded in his service records. His birth was recorded as Petty (Pettie) Invernesshire. i think it is the 1851 census that reords him and his wife living with his sister lilias. I understand his full service records are missing from ADM 157 ? lost or misfiled. I would be grateful for any suggestions.
Many Thanks
Karen

Hi Roots Chat.
Can anyone help. I am trying to trace a David Ross born about 1824 in Petty, Invernesshire. His father was john a farmer and he had a sibling Lilias.
David enlisted in Glasgow in 1847. ADM157 guggests records are missing. Does anyone have any ideas where these records may be??? Or any other roots worth looking at.
Many thanks

Hi Ken
Thanks , I will look into Navy pensioners. I have another relative listed as a Greenwich Pensioner so I will follow that root.
Interestingly my grandfather Jem (James) Yardley born 1881 was in the the RMLI (Light Infantry) No 12441, he later joined the Royal Marines his number was No3. I wonder who number 1 & 2 were?. Jem ended his career as WO class 2 Band master at Portsmouth
Many thanks again for you info
