Title: 11th North Devon Foot Regt - PEARCE
Post by: maddison on Wednesday 17 March 10 04:27 GMT (UK)

Hello
I am trying to find confirmation that a Thomas Pearce, b/1824 Glamorgan, Wales, enlisted in 11th North Devon Foot Regiment - probably July 1842.  Does anyone have access to these records - if so, what information do they contain?
Thank you.
Maddison

Hi
My grear great great grandfather (from Bradworthy, North Devon) was a soldier in the 28th Foot Regiment and I obtained his army records fron the National Records office, which you can order online and it wasn't very expensive.  I found that he served at Waterloo and the Peninsular Wars against Neopolean also.

Hi Maddison

I hope you find what you are looking for, it is a difficult site to navigate though (well I thought so).
