In 1892 George was 24 years old. He was living at Stanton Harcourt in 1881 so he probably joined the Oxford & Bucks. As I cannot find him on the 1891 census I again assume he was abroad at the time. Can anyone suggest how I can find out more information on my Grandfathers early military carer.

Thank you Wendy Yes he was on the "Find my past" records. I have now downloaded all 7 images. I was right about one thing he was in India when the 1891 census was taken. Now all I have to do is decipher the medal he is wearing on his WW1 uniform, the only photograph I have of my grandfather.
