I have a Greenwich pensioner 1851 born abt 1785, who states on his sons marriage certificate, that he was a staff sergeant. Presumably this was Royal Marines, he was not at Trafalgar though. Has anyone any thoughts on what documentation to request. I assume he would not be on an officers list. Has anyone any thoughts, or experience of this. Regards.
