2nd Garrison Battalion; 57th Foot Regiment
« on: Friday 18 November 05 08:23 UTC (UK) »
Hi everyone,

In the 1861 Census, John PARTRIDGE was listed as a "Chelsea Pensioner".  This prompted me to have a look at the National Archives Catalogue to see if I could find anything.  I found an entry that I strongly believe is my John and the information given in the index is the 2nd Garrison Battalion; 57th Foot Regiment. 1811 - 1816. Discharged at the age of 21.  I believe my John was born about 1794 according to various census calculations which would put him at about 17 years of age in 1811.

Anybody got any idea how I would go about finding out more about this regiment?  I know Waterloo falls within this timeframe but I'm not going to get my hopes up. Smiley

Thanks,
Alison
