I have an ancestor, Samuel GEORGE, who was in the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards from 1813 to 1824. I would love to know where he served if anyone can help me in this respect. He enrolled at Westminster, London.
Thanks, Ellen |

Hi Ellen
There are several Samuel George entries if you search The National Archives catalogue but I can't see one which is clearly yours. Do you know where he was born? Have you tried this website: www.rhqcoldmgds.co.uk/shop/page/3?shop_param= Mary |

Have you tried this website: www.rhqcoldmgds.co.uk/shop/page/3?shop_param= Mary Dear Mary, Yes, I did try to get information direct from the Coldstream Guards but they said Samuel George didn't exist - though I had found him at the National Archives myself. They insisted they had all soldiers and wouldn't accept there were files at Kew which there definitely were!! That was where I found out his signing on date of 1.4.1813 and discharge date of 6.10.1824. Of course it was late in the day and I didn't have time to explore more and as I live in Derby, I've not been able to go down to London again. The book gave his place of birth as Staines, London and I expect it would have been around 1795. Ellen |
