The Common Room / British Regiments at Castle of Good Hope, South Africa after 1841
« on: Monday 29 April 24 10:22 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
I'm hoping someone could be able to narrow down a search for me if possible please.
Family letters have my 3x Great Grandfather, Michael Shaw (from Ireland) (and his family, youngest born in 1841, London) staying at the Castle of Good Hope sometime after 1841, apparently connected to the Royal Engineers.
Is there a particular regiment under a name other than the Royal Engineers that may have been sent to the Castle with the Engineers? Is there a list somewhere of regiments at the Castle during particular times?
Somehow the family ends up in Montreal afterwards.
Thanks in advance!
