Good afternoon All…
I’ve looked at Find-a-Grave, plus the Brompton Cemetery and Kensal Green Cemetery search options, but found nothing. Can anyone help.
His military name was Brice McGregor. He was a former C/Sgt in the 3rd Regiment of Foot Guards and died as a Suttling House Publican in the Whitehall building. (near the Household Cavalry Boxes 1 & 2)
Birth 24 June 1782. (Glasgow)
Death 27 November 1846. (Admin was granted to Frederick James McGregor)
In 1846, he appears in Staff Lists for the Lord Chamberlain’s Department.
Any hints would be much appreciated.
…, Iain.

Yes Shaun..., thanks. He was never out of the newspapers..., mostly court cases like throwing drunken Coldstreamers down the steps of the tavern. One of the last was when he ordered the arrest of one Coldstream Guards sentry in the belief that he had fired at him. In fact, a terrorist had thrown a fire bomb over the railings of the Tilt Yard, (near the two horse sentry boxes) and it hit him on the head. Not injured. The sergeant of the guard then explained that the musket had not been fired. :)

Lol..., yes. I published the book last year via the 'Great British Book Shop.'

CREDITS were obviously given to RootsChat.
I'm now writing the screenplay, and should be contacting Netflix in the summer.
Act 3; (the end of the film) has ghosts attending Ralph Fraser's funeral in the Brompton Cemetery. Two other Scots Guards Heroes are buried there..., and I had been crossing my fingers in the belief that McGregor was nearby. ;)
