Armed Forces / Royal Marine Light Infantry - 1870
« on: Wednesday 05 September 18 05:11 BST (UK) »
Hello:
This is my first post.
Via Find A Grave, I found the death record for George Maughan, a potential relative who apparently was a private in the Royal Marine Light Infantry in 1870. I'd like to find leads to locating his service record including, hopefully, his birth date, home town, and next of kin. I created a record for him on Family Search - L1GC-TWK - that has a source with the electronic link to the Find A Grave info.
Here's the data from Find A Grave:
Name: George Maughan
Died: 23 July 1870
Buried: Veterans Cemetery, Esquimalt, Capital Regional District, British Columbia, Canada.
Other Data: Pvt. R.M.L.I
H.M.S Chanticlear (sic)
I found some on-line info about the RMLI and about the HMS Chanticleer, but none that helps with the genealogical information that can potentially link him into my family tree.
Suggestions on how to proceed will be appreciated.
Thanks!
