90th Regiment, Glasgow Barracks 1871
« on: Sunday 02 October 11 09:48 BST (UK) »
Trying to find out a bit more about my G-G-Grandfather.  In his marriage register entry (Nov 1871) he is listed as a bugler with the 90th Regiment with the address of  "Barracks Glasgow".   I am trying to sort out his origins, the 1881 Census has his place of birth as "England/Wales" and that is all I now of him before his marriage.

Does anyone have any information about this Regiment and Barracks around this date?  Can't find him in the 1871 Census, so possibly the Regiment was elsewhere at the time?

Thanks,

Ian

Hi Ian

The 90th Regiment were in Edinburgh for the 1871 Census, moving in June to Glasgow.

Thanks for that.  Don't suppose they were based at/near Dalmeny?  Have found a possible match in the 1871 Census for him there but not enough credit to look at the full entry at the moment :-(

In Glasgow there were two Barracks. The oldest, built around 1780, was in the Gallowgate, Calton. At a later date barracks were built at Maryhill in the NW of the city. Both are now gone, the Gallowgate, long gone!    Skoosh.
