To any lister who's related to a JOHN MELHUISH of Tiverton. I found him on an Ancestry database entitled Canada, British Regimental Registers of Service, 1756-1900 -under the listing of Somerset Volunteers: Trumpeters, Drummers & Privates. He was transcribed as Milbench and birthplace plain Devon. He's with 23rd Foot Soldiers, 2nd Battalion. Age 17. Military date in 2nd April 1813. As an aside, almost all of the Somerset-born soldiers have been transcribed as born in Lancaster! Names are badly transcribed too. I've corrected as many as possible. cheers, pamela
