Sutherland / Re: From Sutherland to Fife
« on: Friday 09 November 12 03:05 GMT (UK) »
I too have family connections in Sutherland and Fife. My great, great grandmother was Christian/Christina McLeod (1821-1877) and born in Dornoch. She and James Fyfe (1810-1872; born in Kinghorn, Fife) married at Loth on 18 Feb 1848. My question is: why would a soldier in the 93rd Regiment of Foot be in Helmsdale? Their marriage registration states the following: On the 18th of February 1848 were married James Fyfe Corporal 93rd Regiment of Foot, Helmsdale and Christian McLeod, Dornoch.
Is there a way to see if the Regiment was stationed in Helmsdale? I have family in the area, but don't think any documents are kept locally any more. Any ideas?
