Thank you George and Pat for taking the time to answer. The 63rd of foot regiment sure have a great history.  I picked  up on the dates of the chart you sent Pat at 1819.  My Gt.Gt. Grandfathers name was Edward Hugh Barron and he married in 1819 at St. Bees Carlisle, England, I have a sort of extract from that wedding, but it doesn't tell me much. I see they were in England at that time then in 1820 went to Ireland, then  Portugal (I guess the whole battalion would have gone there). Back in England July 1828 and Australia in 1828.  I know he arrived in Western Australia in 1829 (June) but he didn't go onto India in 1833. Thank you  both for your help. Townie

To Maeeye, thank you for your message, I'm not sure where to  send for any paper of my Gt. Gt. Grandfathers, where did you apply for them, if from relies, there is no one who knows anything about him now, or if there is I haven't found them.  Would I apply to  the 63rd reg. if it is still in existence.  Thanks again Townie

No I haven't a clue where my gt.gt grandfather came from in Donegal this is what I have been trying to find out. But I know he was in the 63 rd regiment of foot, so I should be able to find something out about him.  regards Townie
