Hello List Betty said: I am researching the GOULD family, the above man ( born 1835) was I think, a captain in the British Army serving the Gaikwar of Baroda between about 1855-69. I know of his marriage and death but woud be pleaed if anyone can direct me to be able to find anymore about his background, in particular where he ws born and his parentage. Until that is established I cannot take the family any further back in time. The FIBIS Fibiwiki page British Army http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=British_Army Has a link to a National Archives guide to tracing Officers in the British Army. Cheers Maureen (Sydney)
