Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards,Caterham Barracks

[tanemahuta]

The 1891 Census shows that one of my family was a Soldier Based at Caterham Barracks Godstone Surrey.He was twenty years old at the time.
This depot was the entrance for recruits in the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards.
Can anyone help me to find  the "Organization" which would hold records of recruits entering this Regiment around 1885 / 1891.

Hi Derek and welcome to RootsChat ! 

Can you give us some details about your soldier ... name - family stories etc ?

Tell what you know already ( so we don't go over old ground !! ) and maybe somebody here will be able to help you !

Hi Annie
Thanks for the response.The Soldier is CHARLEY [CHAS] GRANT, he was born in1871 at Pinhoe Exeter Devon.He was the first son of John Grant and Mary Bradford.His home address at the time would have been at Huxham,Nr. Exeter Devon.
He appears on the 1891 Census as a Soldier at Caterham Barracks Godstone Surrey.
