Royal Marines 1880's service records
« on: Wednesday 24 February 21 10:22 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,
I'm a member of both Ancestry and FindMyPast but am struggling to find Royal Marines service records on either sites ?  I find the RN easily but not the RM, can somebody give me a pointer please ?
thanks Peter

National Archives - the RM service records in ADM 159 are free to search, view and download ...
https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/royal-marines-service-records-1842-1925/

Ancestry has only an index to the above ADM 159 records.

FindMyPast has some RM pension records ...
