Gerry You are correct that WO97 (Chelsea Pensioners) covers the period that is needed - however they are on www.findmypast.co.uk and not Ancestry. Ancestry have WO363/364 - the Burnt documents from WW1 Regards John Hanson -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gerry Doyle Sent: 23 March 2011 05:52 To: Phil White; Sussex List Subject: Re: [SXP] Finding Military Records Hi Phil The records are at the National Archives and I suggest you look at the Research Guides from this site. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/default.htm Ancestry.com have been releasing Military Records from Discharge Papers (WO97)and these would probably cover the period you are looking for. Please note that if a soldier dies while in service there would not be a discharge record. Also the Coldstream Guards are the 2nd Foot Guards and this is used for example by thr LDS in their catalogue.
