Hello everyone. I am a new member from Warwickshire in the UK (and spend a lot of time in Spain). I joined because I have been researching my partner's family for a couple of years and came up against a brick wall a year or more ago and need some help and/or luck! I hear you guys are brilliant at brick walls!
My problem is this. How do you find the birthplace of a man when you don't know where his family came from? I know roughly when he was born (1782), which regiments he joined and where he fought, who he married, how many children he had, their names and what they became, and where he and his family lived and when (but not where) he died in 1815. But neither the military museum nor War Office papers show where he came from. His marriage license shows that he was from Kington, but that maybe only because he wanted to marry a girl from Kington.
Can anyone help please?
