Armed Forces / Re: Canada, British Regimental Registers of Service, 1756-1900

Re Matthew Dancey, the continuation of his record on the next page shows that he was transferred to the Royal African Corps on 23 December 1823. Can't see any other military records for him at the moment.

Thanks. I've not currently got an Ancestry subscription, so I'll check the WO 25/440 series again to see if I can find the page you refer to (hopefully it's the next image). Having done an internet search on the Royal African Corps it seems that they were disbanded between 1821-23 and prior to disbanded had received replacement troops from 60th Regiment, so now I'm wondering if Matthew was originally enlisted to 60th? But I guess that part of my query doesn't belong here!
