I could be wrong but I thought they were separate ranks MOIRA FIDLER -----Original Message----- From: James Ward Sent: Saturday, September 03, 2011 9:30 PM To: Berkshire@rootsweb.com Subject: [BRK] Benjamin WARD On September 30 1832 Sarah Ward was christened at Clewer Parish, BRK. The image shows the parents to be Benjamin WARD and Rebecca STEVENSON. The microfilm shows Benjamin WARD was a Farrier, Major, in the Royal Horse Guards residing at Cavalry Barracks. Is there a list member that can instruct me how and where to access the military history of Benjamin WARD?
