Armed Forces / Re: Escape and Evasion Reports Italy

Hi Andy,
Yes, I am still active and still searching old military records.
I will have to look through my old correspondence to see where I was at the time.
Sadly my biggest problem is living in South Africa so it is impossible to get to Kew to research our family’s military history as a lot of records are not yet online.
I did contact International Red Cross who kindly assisted me with the information they have and there the trial ended.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks Will

Stirlingshire / Re: 75th Regiment recruitment area 1825
« on: Friday 01 August 25 13:46 BST (UK) »
Thanks for the additional info.
I think I did not clarify the info I have.
The marriage and all 3 births including Cape Town were recorded at the Regiment in Scotland, I would assume that the marriage was approved as his wife obviously travelled to Chatham and South Africa with the Regiment as I can find no travel records for her and the 2 children already born.
Thanks again any other insight will be greatly appreciated

Fantastic, many thanks for your reply and info.
Your dates tie in perfectly with the family info I have.
1827 marriage in Fermoy Ireland
1828 son born Fermoy, my family line
1830 daughter born in Chatham England 1833 son born in Cape Town South Africa.
I infer from your info that it would be likely that the father was born in Ireland.
Would it be likely for all these events would be registered at the Regiment in Scotland although none actually took place in Scotland?
If so I have been looking for his birth in the wrong place.
Are there any references so that I can document your dates.
Lastly going to National Archives is not an option as I live in South Africa.
I previously contacted the Gordon Museum but they have no records as it was before the Regiments amalgamated.
Many thanks Will

Stirlingshire / 75th Regiment recruitment area 1825
« on: Friday 01 August 25 08:30 BST (UK) »
Hi All,
My 5x Gfather John Warren’s marriage was recorded as 75th Regiment of Foot Stirlingshire in 1827.
Where would the Regiment recruiting area be at that time?
I am trying to find where he was born.
Thanks Will

Cork / Re: Warren & McIntyre Marriage
« on: Tuesday 03 June 25 20:15 BST (UK) »
Hi,
The 75th was raised in Stirlingshire, Scotland, I do not know how close to Stirling they recruited, but I assume John was born in the area.
Our family has it that Catherine was born in Castlebar area, in west Ireland.
Children were Thomas my line 1828, in Fermoy, Julia in 1830 in Chatham England and William 1833 in Cape Town South Africa.
I assume that this was where the 75th was garrisoned at the time.
I think that the family stayed in South Africa after 1833, but I can’t find any evidence of that.
Hope this helps,
Will

Cork / Warren & McIntyre Marriage
« on: Tuesday 03 June 25 15:00 BST (UK) »
Hi All,
My Gggfather John Warren married his wife Catherine McIntyre in 1827 in Fermoy Co Cork.
It was a military wedding as he was a member of the 75th Regiment of Foot.
Any information about where this wedding took place and how it was recorded will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Will
