Personnel records on Ancestry
« on: Wednesday 12 March 08 00:54 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to get a copy of my great grandathers service record

McCaughrey, John
Corps Regiment   No             Rank
Royal Engineers 205972       Trooper
Royal Engineers WR/503825 Trooper

I cant find it on Ancestry and I live in Northern Ireland so getting to kew isnt easy. Does anyone know if all service records available have been added to ancestry yet?????

You will find the answers to your questions if you read the information Ancestry supply under the search box for Service Records, make sure you click where it says  @For more information about this database, click here.'

it is always worth reading all the information given on a website, that way you get the correct facts and don't miss out on search tips. :) :)
