Piershill barracks/Jocks Lodge
« on: Friday 19 June 09 16:24 UTC (UK) »

Hi
Just looked at the 1911 census and found the following (GtGrandmother Elizabeth Hoare (b 1848), birth place as Jocks lodge (Resident). I am fairly certain that her father John Hoare (b Ireland) was in the army. I see from an old map that Jocks lodge and Piershill Barracks are in near proximity. John Hoare was married to Mary Hoare nee Hutchinson (b Wales).
Can anybody offer any information on what regiment would be in residence around 1848 at the barracks. Any other information whatsoever would be great.
Thank You Ericx

Hi Ericx

Just did a quick google on Piershill Barracks for 1848, and it possibly was the Kings Dragoon Guards who were there are that time.

Have a look at this link, it may help confirm if it was them or not
