In NAS, I found a load of the information forms the Berwickshire Militia had to fill in to get support for dependants while they were serving. Since it named spouses which the local Minister hadn't been doing, it was very useful. I was only looking for Berwickshire, so you'll have to check their catalogue to see what they have.
