Dear Listers My 4x g-grandparents JOHN BOG and SARAH MORGAN married in St. Columb Cathedral, Londonderry in 1746. They had a son JOHN BOGG or BOGGS born 8th November 1757 but we don't know where! He also died 3rd August 1826 but we don't know where! He was in the British Royal Artillery and was sent to Canada where there is a record of JOHN BOGGS marrying DEBORAH DUFF KING at Quebec in 1788. There are no other records for this family in Quebec! Did his parents JOHN BOG and SARAH MORGAN emigrate to Canada at some time? Are there any records of JOHN BOGGS birth in Ireland or death at the above dates? This is my brick wall. Can anyone help?

I have done some redearch at the National Archives in Kew in London on a RA officer around the same period as your John Bog or Boggs. It is very difficult in this time period to find anything and it is not helped by the fact that the Royal Artillery came under the Board of Ordnance and not the War Office which most other army units came under. This site gives a very brief history http://www.army.mod.uk/royalartillery/history.htm. You do not say if he was an officer but if he was not an officer, I do remember finding some muster rolls in NAO. The other place that helped me enormously was the Royal Artillery Museum. http://www.firepower.org.uk/ This was 4 or 5 years ago and their library did send me details for a small fee. They now appear to expect people to do their own research. However you might find the detailed list of books helpful. I've checked the NA catalogue and nothing comes up for a close match to your Boggs or similar name. www.nationalarchives.gov.uk I also checked the wills on line at the NA (most officers were required to make a will). There was a will for a Ninian Boggs of Londonderry, Gentleman. 1813 I mention it in case he might be a relative. PCC Wills pre 1858 which are on the same site. Click on Documents on line. As someone has suggested your best bet might be to hire a researcher at NA.
