Gloucestershire / Re: Josiah Gannaway and Mary c1760s Tewkesbury area

Hello Nanny

I wondered if you had solved the problem?

On Ancestry there are what seems to be the Bishops's Transcripts which (in the case I looked at, Josia bap. February 7 1763) gives Mary as the mother's name. The original register I haven't seen but I suppose that shows Martha, and that was used by Familysearch from whatever IRI is. As the date is the same it must be the same child. I suggest that the clerk who made the copy just made a mistake, but it's odd that it happened three times.

I have
Josia Feb 7 1763
Martha Mar 19 1764
Isaac Jun 16 1766
Mary Oct 18 1769 (not on Findmypast)
Elizabeth Mar 30 1772
Thomas Apr 11 1773

I am researching for a friend descended from Thomas & Lydia's daughter Elizabeth.

Yours,

Rory

Berwickshire / Re: Berwickshire militia during Napoleonic war period
« on: Thursday 29 June 23 14:10 BST (UK)  »
20 or so years ago I looked at the Berwickshire Militia papers which are in the National Archives in Kew. Somebody had very helpfully written an account of the militia's peregrinations; unfortunately I only have to hand the details after Robert Cunningham joined up in December 1803, but I think somewhere I might have the earlier stuff, and if I find anything I will pass it on.

Regiment had been in Dundee since 23rd November. In December it left Dundee & reached Queensferry on 1 January 1804 en route to Port Seton Barracks in Prestonpans, where it arrived 4th January. It stayed there until 2nd July 1805, when the HQ was moved to Musselburgh.

Thereafter the Regiment moved as follows:
9 June 1807 to Haddington
15 June 1808 to Dumfries
March 1809 Glasgow
May ordered to Colchester; reached Edinburgh 31 May; reached Colchester mid-August (Robert promoted to Captain 4th August)
16 September Woodbridge
28 June 1811 embarked at Walton Ferry for Leith
18 July Haddington
3 September Dunbar (perhaps married Mary McLaren at around this time?)
1 December Edinburgh
18 Feb 1812 ordered to Paisley arriving 21st
8 March Ayr Barracks
2 May Irvine
16 May Ayr; his son Robert Oliver born there
15 August Paisley
January 1813 Kilmarnock
20 April ordered to Newcastle arriving late May; detachments to Tynemouth & Carlisle
15 September Tynemouth
10 April 1814 Newcastle
The Regiment was disembodied 20th August at Coldstream but Robert remained as Paymaster at the rank of Ensign from 21 August.
On 10 July 1815 the Regiment was re-embodied at Coldstream and continued:
August Queensberry House Barracks, Edinburgh
November Berwick on Tweed
7 February 1816 disembodied at Coldstream; Robert away recruiting much of the year.
Militia reassembled for training at Coldstream in 1820, 21, 25, and 1831 (& continued).

Hi sorry to come to this a bit late. I'm descended from Barbara's brother David. I think Barbara died in about 1771 and Cicilia was buried on 19 May 1774. May I ask how you know they had TB, why you think Barbara was sent away, and why you are interested in them?
