Thomas Griffiths - Kings Dragoon Guards

Post by erika »

Hi All

I'm a little bit stuck and wondered if SKP wouldn't mind doing a lookup for me please.

I am looking for Thomas Griffiths born 1836/37 in Liverpool and he was a sergeant in the Kings Dragoon Guards ( 1861 census )
His father was Samuel Griffiths a joiner, mother Hannah.
The 1861 & 1851 census has his address as 14 Derby Street, Liverpool, so I'm not sure if that was the address he used when he joined up.
Do they have service records available to view on FMP?
I don't know if he married eventually,I've very little information for him and can't seem to get any further.

Many thanks in advance

Cheers
Erika :D
