Regiments Based in Wiltshire

[sonofcam]

Does any lister have information on what regiments may have been based in the Corsham area around the end of the Seven Years War.
In 1767 John PRIMROSE, a soldier born Ireland about 1738, married widow Eleanor WILSON nee KINGMAN at Corsham on 5 June.
Daughter Eleanor was baptised at Trowbridge Silver Street Presbyterian church in 1768 but following two children's baptisms have not been found.
Suspicion is that the Regiment moved away from the area and children were born elsewhere - establishing most likely regiments may help narrow the search. [IGI Patron listing for son John Primrose born Bradford on Avon 4 March 1772 is probably correct for date but the location is just as probably a guess]
John PRIMROSE was back in Trowbridge in 1774 at the Red Hat hotel and spent the rest of his life in the area - died 1820 aged 82 at Bradford on Avon.
