2nd Leicestershire ( Where to Start Looking at Kew?)
« on: Thursday 28 December 06 22:18 GMT (UK) »
I found at the LMA, records for husbands G, Grandfather when he was on the training ship Exmouth, It said on the records in OCT 1892 he was then being transferred to the 2nd Leicestershire ( he would have been 14 at the time).

Where would I start looking in the NA at Kew? Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Many thanks!

( Some Background info that I have already found)

Did he run away from the Army to Join the Navy and then went back to the Army?

By 1896 when he was 18 he was entering the Navy fraudulently in 1896, see link  ( The newspapers are on my to do list in the new year).

I've found his papers joining up to the RA in 1897 ( Unburnt) and 1905 (burnt)
