not long back from Kew, the records there were off being digitized so the timing of my visit wasn't best. Did get to check some muster rolls though.

I have found the list where my ancestor was mentioned and it was from a web site www.abdn66.freeserve.co.uk/militia2.htm which was headed Kincardineshire Volunteers Listings of those who volunteered to join the militia between the years 1798 to 1816 and which I have tried to enter tonight but it does not show up. The list I have is for Captain Robert Barclays Company probably the same Barclays associated with Brotherton Castle  and Im sorry to say that the name you are looking for isnt on this list
There was another site where I found that one of the Fotheringhams Alexander was wounded and shipped home from the Mysore war in India and the web site I believe was named Cindys List 
Sorry I wasnt of more help

Hi Farah

I am currently researching the 94th Regiment of Foot.  I have started a living history group, and we are now wearing the uniforms as they looked in the Peninsula wars.  I am trying to get information from living relatives from anyone whose relatives served in the regiment fromm 1800 - 1818.  We are also in contact with the National Army Museum in London to see if there are any artefacts belonging to the regiment in the museum.

If you have any information that would help in my research I would be truly grateful.

Thanks John

Hi John,
You are probably aware of this but just in case!! Google Soldier Magazine,select Digital Edition,scroll down left side and select September 2012. Starting on page 43 there is a 5 page article on The Peninslar War. Incidentally, some time ago I read in a book that the Regimental Colours of the 94th were laid up in Edinburgh Castle after disbandment in 1818. Unfortunately I can't find my reference.
Regards.Jim.
