WEll, have a look at the PRO web site http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/default.htm They don't do research for you - either you have to go yourself, or get someone to search on your behalf. I believe that Army officers' records from that period can be very detailed, including birthplaces, parentage, where and when recruited, and where they served. I am sure there are other Listers with experience of this type of research. Anne
