1891 Census of Aldershot - (Aldershot - Hampshire)
I have recently found fiche of the 1891 census at my LDS. Aldershot is listed in Surrey not Hampshire. Regiments found include the Army Service Corps, 1st Northampton Regiment, Scottish Rifles, District HQ and garrison staff, Medical Corps. If your soldier is listed at all he will likely only give you his name, regiment, age and birthplace but for me that filled in a gap. Worth a try anyway.

Southgate/Boyle - (Aldershot - Hampshire)
My uncle Percy Southgate was born in Aldershot barracks 1875. His father Edward was a schoolmaster in the 8th Hussars, His mother was Alice Maud Boyle. Alice was born in Ireland and was from a military family. I have been trying to find Edward's birth and parents, but have been unable to find him on any census, so am unable to find in which county he was born. I guess because of his military service he could have been overseas depending where his regiment was at the time.Any help or direction would be appreciated in finding him and where he came from.
