Wiltshire Lookup Requests / Re: Wiltshire Militia
« on: Sunday 22 August 21 10:10 BST (UK)  »
Hello Sue,
Thanks for your reply. I have a paper file which will no doubt guide me to find the reference to Joseph Potters connection with the Wiltshire Militia. Last night I tried to download a file from the National Archives but could not open them. Joseph isn't mentioned in the Wiltshire Militia that you downloaded.
He is mentioned as a soldier at the baptism of Lucy . Found this on Cornwall Parish Records online. It wasn't on the bp record on the familysearch website, Fathers occupation are not usually mentioned that far back. Re your family research wonder if 'Turnergirl' means anything to you.

best wishes
Mike

Hello Sue,
I haven't been on Roots for a while but it is a very useful research platform. Not sure if you can read the replies my original post produced. I have not so far continued this enquiry any further but your mention of Lucy's son emigrating will sponsor me to have a close look. I am specifically looking for possible DNA matches but the line of Cox, Pooley and more recently Parker haven't produced any. The file on Wiltshire Militia is interesting and especially the fact that the area of interest for the organisation was not confined to the county of that name. Swindon Archives and even the National Archives may offer more information.

If I can help you further please let me know.
regards
Mike

Hi Justin,
Very interesting and Helpful bit of information. I have downloaded the Militia file. I am quite surprised just how far their operations extended. Not bounded by the county but wherever the action happened to be. Often on the coast with smuggling etc. Though I did find mention of Malta.
Thank you again.
all the best
Mike

I am in search of a Joseph Potter who was born about 1773 in Heytesbury,Wiltshire. He was serving with the Wiltshire Militia when his daughter Lucy was born at St Gluvias in Cornwall in 1797. I wonder if anybody has any Muster Rolls or Lists that could shed a little light into Josephs time with the Militia.
Any suggestions, information would be most appreciated.

Regards

Mike

Florence Louise was the right person, found her in the 1881 and 1891 census, granddaughter staying with Joseph and Elizabeth Parker near Warminster. Thanks again your help is most appreciated.

I am researching my wife's family from Wolverhampton and have come up against a person for whom I can find little information. She is Florence Louise King born Windsor 1874. I would be most obliged if anyone can shed any light on this person.
kind regards
Mike
