Thank you Joan. I actually have no interest in the India connection, as my ancestors went from Ireland with the 27th Foot Regt to South Africa, but I was hoping that there might be some of the extensive information you mentioned on those Embarkation Records too.

East India Co not the British Regiments. Originally I found it on the FHL Catalogue. There are also Depot Description Lists in the L/MIL/9 series which contain a lot of information also. From memory though you had to know whether in Artillery or other unit or name of ship. I'm not sure of this as I found these about 15 years ago. I'll see if I can find how to find the LDS FHL catalogue and how I found the film which as I said above was many years ago. Hope this helps.

Sorry it was of no help Jennifer. Would this site be of any help with SA info? http://www.e-family.co.za/ Joan Thank you Joan.

Thank you Joan. That site is mainly for research into SA's Dutch ancestry. I understand that the 27th went to South Africa in 1835 on 'The George' but have yet to find those embarkation records. Any ideas appreciated.
