Thanks very much everybody for your replies - it is much appreciated.

The marriage and the movements of the regiment seem absolutely spot on. I have never seen that marriage entry before as I guess I had inadvertently focused on Margarets and ignored Margerys!

I've just looked it up on FreeREG and sure enough their transcription has Michael as being in the Royal North Lincoln Regt of Militia, so based on that I dare say it must be the right couple.

Stavert seems to crop up a fair bit in that part of Northumberland. If only they were to have a child in Durham or Northumberland in that wonderful period of detailed baptism records and it would give their parish of origin.

Thanks again,

Lewis

I can't imagine there were too many Margery Staverts around - and Whittingham is not far from Alnwick so seems highly likely.

Thanks for this!

You're welcome.
That FreeReg transcript of Groom's occupation is a winner.

Re baptisms of possible Michael's siblings, have a look for the surname Dunn, location Liverpool, period 1799 - 1810, parents Michael and Margery.

Thanks for this - seems to fit that he was apparently stationed in Liverpool for upwards of two years with his regiment and has then gone back there to settle. I wonder if it means he was from there?
