British army uniforms C19th - general question

[philipsearching]

Does anyone know of an online site which has anything like a database to search for army uniforms by style?

Such as:
uniform colour
colour of collar/cuffs/facings
number of buttons/frogs
tartan design
and so on.

We get several "can you identify this uniform" requests - and so often the man in the photograph has no headgear, so no identifiable regiment badge.

My guess is that there isn't a comprehensive list of militia uniforms, but anything that identifies or rules out regular army would be very useful.

I note that on other more specialised sites where seasoned experts in this field are to be found, sources are usually identified as coming from this or that reference book.  I haven't seen any site such as you describe being referred to anywhere.

Many thanks for your reply.  I knew it was a long-shot, but it was worth asking!
