I am currently researching one of my relatives via Ancestry. I don't have access to Fold3 yet, but I will be upgrading to that service in the coming months. I am not sure if that will illuminate my relatives history any further, based off he search results I get at present (one record indicating being on that service, but not entirely sure if it is for my relative).
Per his census records, he was a "cavalry corporal". In 1891, he was living in Aldershot ("Aldershot Division", 1st and 2nd Divs, and 2nd Cav Bde were apparently all active during this period) . Either that year or the next, he shipped out to India (based off birth of child there that year). He was potentially based around Bangalore in 1894, based off the birth of another child. By 1897, he was back in the UK and based in Canterbury (I know there was a depot for the cav at Sturry Road), and then left the colours between then and 1901.
Based off that info, is it possible to figure out what regiment he would have been part of? Or, could someone point in me in the right direction?
Hello there! As your question is related to looking for identification/information regarding military personnel, our Guide on Military Identification may be of use to you. It provides a number of different resources, including how to request service records from a number of national agencies around the world, as well as graphical aids to assist in deciphering rank, unit, and other forms of badges or insignia. While the users here may still be able to lend you more assistance, hopefully this will provide a good place to start!
