Hi Mike, Thank you for the response. Yes, there are several articles on William in Newcastle. There is even a section on Old Wallsend Cemetery about William and his friend Mr. Butters on the Newcastle site. What I find interesting with William is that none of the records in Scotland talk of his military. I have transcribed many records that list rank of a soldier on his marriage, children's baptisms and census. There is nothing on William. I have to really wonder about this man. Sincerely, Stephanie

Stephanie I think that you have two choices. The First that he was out of England/UK when the Census were taking place. The second that he assumed someone else's identity. Unlikely with military records. I assume that there is an 3rd area that the records are waiting some where to be found. Oh could he have had two christen names and used William but the records used the second and unknown name. You did say that you had found him on the 62 nd Muster Roll as William?
