« on: Thursday 06 January 05 14:53 GMT (UK) »
Hi, My gggrandfather joined the 61st regiment of foot in september 1839 would anyone know where in Wiltshire there was a recruitment office/barracks?.

My gggrandfather lived in the Wylye area

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Kind Regards
Robert

This may not be directly relevant... but my ancestor (from Highworth, Wilts) joined the 62nd foot regiment in 1807 - and enlisted in Pendennis, Cornwall.

You can find more information on the Wiltshire regiments here on www.regiments.org
