What a cornucopia of information and sources you have found for me! Thank you all very much.

I am off to my library now to look at the FindMyPast Army record.

I have just found a copy of Voyage and Journey of the 2nd Batt. Scots Fusilier Guards: from Southampton to Montreal, during the winter of 1861-2 written by a soldier of the regiment on Archive.org - so a day of fascinating reading ahead. :)

Thanks again. Michael.
