ROBERT OSMAN
. . .
1766 - 15/06/1766, Baptism, Chiseldon, Wiltshire, England. Son of James Osman & Betty
1786 - 28/02/1786, Enlisted in the 8th Reg't of Foot. 
1805 - 19/05/1805. Marriage to Margaret Liddle @ Montrose, Forfar, Scotland.
. . .

Robert may have been married previous to Margaret Liddle. Check out Margaret Tweedale of Linlithgowshire. There is an OPR for son born (I need to hook up that drive!!). He was either born in 1804 or passed in 1804. I think Tweedale may have died in childbirth and David soon followed.

Argh! I can't remember. I'll post once I get the info up.

I wonder why Robert would have ended up marrying in Scotland?

Hi there!
Unfortunately I cannot respond to the message you sent me on here me a week ago. Probably because I'm not a paying member  ;)

Robert is, indeed, our common ancestor. He is my ggg?-grandfather. All my data is on my external drive, which I need to hook up, so I'm not quite sure how many greats past he is.

Anyhow, I definitely would like to chat!

Did you get anywhere with his daughter, Mary, who claims she was born on the Field of Waterloo? From what I've found, thus far, Robert wasn't even at Waterloo, but I didn't have the transfer to the 3rd Royal Vets. Where did you find that?

All that said, you can email me at madmarestudio @gmail.com (remove the space before the @).
I would love to talk to you about this.

Hi, all!
I'm a little late to the party, but:

"sergeant robert osman of the 8th regiment of foot & margaret liddle of this
  parish were proclaimed in order to marriage"

in Montrose.

Robert Osman is my 4th g-grandfather. Born in Chiseldon, Wiltshire 1766. He appears to have several brothers and sisters and his father (possible James Osman m/ Elizabeth) seems to have family there as well. All the dates look fantastic, but I'm still verifying this info. I just came across it today.

I also have James Fleming Duff (b. ~1850), 7th child of John Duff (b. ~1817) and Jane Osman (b. 1816).

The Osman/Duff family were in Linlithgow and Bo'Ness, West Lothian.
