David, Firstly you could check Lt Vesey's promotions via the archives of The London Gazette: http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/AdvancedSearch.aspx?GeoType=London I have had a quick look. There were several officers named Vesey. It would be easier to find Lt Vesey of the 76th if you know his first name. You may find that he served with other regiments. You may also find that the other Veseys are relevant to you. Good luck, Ray --- On Sat, 6/9/08, David Vesey <veseybrown@sympatico.ca> wrote: From: David Vesey <veseybrown@sympatico.ca> Subject: [Ess] Halifax York- 76th Reg of the Foot.
