Armed Forces / 5th great grandfather army records help please
« on: Thursday 21 May 20 09:46 BST (UK) »
I have found 3 records on Anc which I believe belong to my 5th gt grandfather and am hoping somebody can help me understand a bit more about his military career
The first and second ones come under the category of Canada, British Regimental Registers of Service 1756-1900
The first one details are William Sangster age 19 born 1794 Inverikellan ( mix transcription of Inverkeilor) Forfar Attestation date 22 May 1813 for 7 years 1st Foot Soldiers 3rd Battalion
The second one is for William Sangster 1st Foot 1st Battalion 1813-1815
The 3rd is the record of Waterloo medal for William Sangster Rank Private Regiment 3rd Battalion Royal Scots Sub Unit Captain Geo. Marlay (Major's) Company No.6.
Through a family story we were told he did serve at Waterloo so I believe this is him
Thanks

Scotland / 1860's wills in Scotland
« on: Thursday 18 April 19 11:52 BST (UK) »
Would a will when listing the children of the deceased place them in age order oldest to youngest and if one of the children had a different mother would they be listed separately the deceased possibly married twice
