Thanks everyone for you help, I have googled and there is a lot of info on Royal Artillery, which will do us for now, I also googled National Archives and discover info not online will have to see if we can organise a relative to go for us, I live in Australia and cousin Kathleen in America, we have just recently got in touch with long lost cousins in England, hence the Certificate on Edward Cullingon. Will see who can visit National Archives for us. |

His records if they have survivied will be at the National Archives - not online, you'd have to go there or get someone to go for you. |

I've been looking to see if he appeared on any census, especially the 1881 and 1891 ........ there are a couple of Edward Cullingtons and one Edward Culliton, all born in Ireland, and within 5 years of 1858 which seems to be his birth year based on being 21 years and 3 months old when he attested. But none of them say anything like "ex Army" |

Edward Cullington details below of discharge paper, can someone explain why he would have been in the Royal Artillery as a Gunner, was it a requirement or did they volunteer for service. It says Service Abroad 7yrs 2 days, could you tell me where this might have been. Is there a website I can go to and look up information, and would the records be available to our family. We knew nothing about this. |
