GLENDAY John -born 1822 Cupar died 1893 Surrey

[Dette]

Hi All, I am trying to establish whether John Glenday is an ancestor of my husband's.  I would like to know if I can obtain John Glenday's birth record and his enlistment papers please. 

John was born in Cupar in 1822 and was a shoemaker before he enlisted in the 50th Regiment of Foot.  I know that he was in Sydney NSW in 1841 before the regiment was sent to Madras India in that year. 

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Hi,

Thanks for the census info but I already have all of that.  I know all about his life after 1841 until his death in 1893.  What I am looking for is how to view his enlistment papers and his birth/baptism records.

Thanks.
