Any one who may have been serving in the royal lifeguards around 1973-1977 at windsor, who may have served with my dad peter jackson or may be able to help me in my search for finding him please contact me.

Hello Sarah. I can't help directly but might have a couple of tips. Firstly, was he in the "Blues and Royals" (wore the red plumes) or the Lifeguards (white plumes)?
My uncle was in the Lifeguards but I don't have a current address for him either. (He was Lieutenant Colonel Alec Jackson)
Have you tried contacting the regimental headquarters? or checked with the Service Records? and what about the electoral roles or phone books?
Hope you have some success.
Best wishes,

Pam
