Julia Have you done any kind of a search of Regiment movements through the book "In Search of the Forlorn Hope"? I think most family history libraries would have a copy. It would be a laborious task, though....

I have studied this for some time and it isn't always easy to work out which ones were in Malta first. I haven't come across the 4th Regiment Kings Own though. Kind regards, Julia Colleen Wells replied to query re: regiments in Australia BARNES/ SULLIVAN/GWYNNE....................... Hi Julia, Could have been the 4th Regiment (Kings Own)........if you put in Google "4th Regiment Kings Own Malta" you will find some info on this Regiment. I know they were in Aust during this period, as one ship, Jupiter, was transporting convicts to Tasmania and Norfolk.
