Overseas Births

[Shirley Sweetland]

Hi Jen My grandfather was born at Aldershot army barracks in 1871 while his father was serving in the British army. I found his birth on a list of "Army births" at our WA genealogical society, so there is a publication around.

His birth was also recorded on the GRO index.


Hope this helps.

Have a look at:

which among other things mentions the following book:


The British Overseas: a guide to records of their births, baptisms, marriages, deaths and burials available in the United Kingdom (3rd edition, 1994) published by Guildhall Library

Thanks for that link. I have bookmarked it for future reference - although I'm hoping I won't need it
