If anyone has a clue as to what Regiments were at Fermoy in circa 1837 I'd love to know, and see who my ancestor Sgt. Nathaniel Gunn, 93rd Highland Rgt of Foot was about with ? By 1850 I believe the 93rd may have had a name change, "Sutherland Highlanders" by then and eventually the A&G Highlanders. Bear in mind that big church in old Fermoy has records on webs. "Maiden names" are not mentioned, as if woment then and there, were 'property'. Troops deployed in 1815'ish from Fermoy to the Battle of Waterloo. Fermoy barracks was built after a scary invasion of Napoleon's forces onto NW Ireland.
