Title: What Regiment please?
Post by: Feral566 on Friday 15 January 21 16:14 GMT (UK)

Thomas BEGBY (BEGLY, BEGBIE, BUGBY) South Africa 1814..................

He is listed on his daughter Clara's marriage certificate as a soldier, but deceased by 1847. What REGIMENT would he likely have been part of? Possibly a Scottish Regiment but I'd love to know please. Thanks!

The 1st Battalion 72nd Seaforth Highlanders were stationed in Cape Town in 1814/15 if that is of any use to you.

Hi Sarah, oh sorry I didn't realise that! I will do that in the future, thank you!

Hi Pogo, thanks I'll look into that. Thought it might be a Scottish regiment but wasn't sure.
