Update from The National ArchivistThe National Archives at Kew are adding Army lists and other military records to their online database at a great rate. I have copied their latest online newsletter below as a for-instance. It might be worth looking to see if your Robertson features in any army records shortly before the Crimea. He might have been in another regiment.
