Armed Forces / Re: 3rd Reg-The Buffs?
« on: Saturday 06 November 21 01:26 GMT (UK)  »
Not sure if you are aware but under the Australian Joint Copying Project the Muster Books (Payroll) for the Buffs are available for viewing on the Australian Trove website. You have to scroll through but as the names of the soldiers being paid are in alphabetical order it is not difficult to find your ancestor. I just found mine in this series:

There are some illustrations of regimental uniforms in the book by Peter Stanley: The Remote Garrison, The British Army in Australia. ISBN 0-86417-091-2 which I was able to look at, at a local library. I will try and attach a bad photo that I took for my own research as I have an ancestor who is reported as serving in the Buffs as an NCO. I am a beginner amateur, you may wish to access the book yourself as it has a range of uniforms illustrated in it. It certainly does look similar.

Thanks ladies, I have been reading about my ancestry, can't say researching as I am not that skilled. Wm Long m. Charlotte Montague Heaney was also my great-great-grandfather through a Long patrilineal line. Wm-Wm-AWR-Kevin-me.
The Heaney line gives the connection into Robert "Black Bob" Cooper. Mary Ann Cooper m. Richard Heaney - she was the daughter of Robert Cooper and Mary Ann Cowley. So the first of his abt 23 children with three wives. He was transported in 1813, which is the year Mary Ann Cowley died (abt). And then he went onto boom and bust.
I am interested in finding a connection between CM Heaney Long and her grandfather. Wondering if the move to NSW from Tasmania related to this. I think the house she lived (died) in was called Brisbane Water and the Cooper Distillery was the Brisbane Distillery. Anyway, just ranting, I am on my journey now and will keep looking. Just wishing to connect into your thread.
