SOLDIERS' DOCUMENTS WO97/3425
Index to the unfilmed papers circa 1880-1900

 

All of the following are surname MARSDEN. The surname has been omitted to reduce the size of the table. This later series of papers usually contains details of next-of-kin and, if married, of children. It can be assumed that if no details appear, none were given. The orginal papers at the Public record Office, Kew are filed as WO97/3425 in a single box. The pepars will usually include the soldier's attestation and discharge papers though the level of detail supplied may vary considerably. You are strongly recommended to examine the original papers if possible. The ages given are as at the date of enlistment. There is a list of abbreviations following the table.
