Thanks Ian for the interesting and very helpful information. The penalty for desertion was certainly severe. It provides insight into what was likely to be my ancestor's motivation to migrate to Australia under a false name in 1838.
How did you access Regiment Muster Rolls? Where are these records held?
Thanks,
Peter
