On Frances marriage cert in 1837 it says Bride father surname: WALKER, Bride father occupation Soldier.

I feared it was too much to hope that the marriage certificate would name the father's regiment.  I'm disappointed but not surprised that he was not listed as deceased.  Still, the search is narrowing, so I am optimistic!

It could be worth posting on the Armed Forces board (cross-referencing to this thread) to see if we can find a regiment for Richard WALKER and track the regiment's movements prior to 1816 (although if Richard was in an East India Company regiment rather than the British Army, this may be impossible!)
