    Default CONNOLLY Thomas Armagh. Nee urgent help Please!!!

    Need urgent help to find Military records for Private Thomas Connolly or variations of Connolly. I have cancer and not sure how long I have left; I would like to give my family this special gift before I go.

    Thomas was from Market Hill, Armagh. Born 1834c, I think his father was also Thomas. No idea what his mothers mane was. He was stationed in India, married a Matilda Payne in 1861 and left Bombay in Dec 1873 for Australia. He arrived here in 1874 with his wife & 4 children.
    Who would have his Military records & would they have the names of his parents or siblings?

    Thanking you all in advance

    Many British military service records are kept at the National Archives in Kew. I am not sure how much is on line. I have read that for some searches you have to go in person (or get someone to do it for you). Their catalogue is on:

    The National Archives

    Next of kin and home address is often recorded on service records.

    Thanks Elwyn; I have no way of getting there myself, I am in Australia.
    Will have to see how else I can get them.
    Cheers
