Would be grateful for any help with this brickwall.
John was born in 1774, Ayrshire, Scotland and joined the 51ST Regiment in April 1790 - clearly aged 16.
The 51st was in Ireland at the time and moved around between 1790 and 1805. In 1805 John's first son was born in Ceylon.
I cannot find the marriage between John and his wife Joanna or Johanna Day. I think it must have happened between 1790 and 1805 - but where?
John Joanna and family returned to Scotland in 1818. Joanna died in 1820 - no burial record found.
Anh help appreciated.
Bert
