Greetings to all This is part of my neverending search to pin my GGGrandfather (William) to a point in space and time on the planet. When my GGrandfather (John McIntosh) was married in 1870, William was not said to be deceased so I presume he was alive and a pensioner of the 93rd Regiment. John was also in the 93rd and said (army record) to be from Urquhart, Inverness. I have followed up quite a few Williams from the 93rd but have just come across one from Urquhart. He enlisted at Inverness 27/11/1813 at 18, so would have been born about 1795. He served until 1834. John was born in 1845 so this William would have been 50 at that time if he was the father. William served in the West Indies from 1825 to 1834, also Newfoundland for 16 months. I have never found a marriage record for William (Alexanderina McLeod was John's mother), but I have never searched the West Indies. If anyone has any pointers on any of the above I would appreciate receiving them. John. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~johnmc46lc/ ps Scotland play New Zealand at Rugby today in Dunedin, NZ, - the Edinburgh of the South. May the best team win.
