Hi Rob and List May I also ask if the Cavalry from these barracks would have been serving in Linlithgow, Scotland around 1819 as an ancestor of mine married a local girl. They stayed at least until 1823 when they baptized their first child. I would be very interested to know if any lists of soldiers serving at this time exist. Regards Paul
