Berwickshire / Re: Berwickshire militia during Napoleonic war period

I'm trying to piece together the movements of the Berwickshire Militia during the Napoleonic war period (abt 1800-1815).  Wondering if anyone has successfully traced one of their Berwickshire militia men during this period and can tell me where (and when) he was stationed.  From my reading about Scottish militia, it appears they moved around the British Isles regularly, travelling as far away as Kent, Suffolk and Ireland.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Siroli.

Hi - My ancestors, John Stevenson of the Berwickshire Militia and his wife Sally Cuthbertson had a son born in Irvine in 1812. They were married in Kilmarnock, when John is descrbed only as a soldier. Hope that is a help to you. - Arthur
