I guess he was the one marrying Clara Burgess in 1841-Paddington?
You may be out of luck if he was living in Paddington at census time as it's one of the "missing pieces".

Now trying to find what regiment john Milton Watts served in born circa 1818 he joined up about 1833 and served in India by 1911 he was out of the army 1914 he was back in 12th Bat London Regiment his army number in WW1was 503 6775 473218 would this number have anything to do with a previous army career i believe while in India he served in a place called KASAULI

Have you got it right,he was born 1818 joined up 1833 and he was in WW1.

Hi Maureen,
This is not him he was at my sisters wedding in April1955

were army records before ww1 destroyed in ww2

'Burnt documents'

Although five million soldiers from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales fought in World War One, around 60 per cent of the service records for these soldiers were destroyed during a German bombing raid on the War Office in London in September 1940.

The originals for all surviving records, many badly damaged during the bombing raid, have been conserved by The National Archives and comprise the two collections to be made available online for the first time by Ancestry.co.uk, fully indexed and including original images.

I am LOOKING FOR RECORDS BEFORE THE FIRST WORLD WAR WERE THESE DESTROYED AS WELL?
