Ingham - Battle of Boyne

[christinethomast]

From PRONI I managed to order his will extract - and I also found a reference to him in the Farnam Estate Papers.  I have not contacted KEW - and advice on what to search for there?

[christinethomast]

I have had a reply from David Hume - he will have the archivist look for me.  He did note that there are 1450 names in the book...and there were 25,000 in William's army.

The archivist at the Orange Order was unable to locate any reference to Capt. Joseph Ingham in the Paymaster's Book.
I am curious to learn how you determined that the Dutch Blue Guard were Catholic?

I have read in William army there were: 26,500 infantry, 8,000 cavalry, 50guns total of 35,000 at the battle of the boyne.

2,000 killed and wounded.

will have to look up were I read they were Catholic.

William army were called the Williamites.

"The link goes on to say that "There are 1,400 names listed within its parchment pages relating to some of the soldiers who accompanied King William..." - I had previously seen references alluding to 400 names of officers, including a large contingent from France. "

Weren't the French in cahoots with King James ?
