Hi Cando,

Sorry for the delay.  I have since found Donald's occupation on his son Henry's death.  He is listed as a sargeant in the 42nd foot division.  I had a look at Catherine's birth and it appears the 79th reg is related to a witness by the name of William Swanson!  A brother or father?  I think that you're probably correct that John was probably born whilst his father was travelling with the military.  What a llife they must have had!

.....sorry to answer your other questions.....don't know where the sailor link came from...Portsmouth!!!!  And no I don't have John on any census records, the only link to his parents is his death.
