As far as i am aware there were no Royal Marines on board ships or protecting civilians, forts,routes, shipping lanes & cargo from the UK to America, India etc during 18th & 19th Centuries.

However there is substantial proof & evidence that regiments of the Coldstream Guards from the Brigade of Guards were undertaking all the duties as stated above well beyond the 19th Century, until the Royal Marines were formed.

Needless to say the Royal Marines would never admit to being formed from the Coldstream Guards.
