Does any body have information regarding the mobilization of the Cheshire Militia to the Citadel in Plymouth abt 1853. I reckon they were sent there to reinforce the home defence when regulars were posted to the Crimea. Any thoughts or information would be very welcome.

Thank you Norma & Peter for your comments. I was allready aware of the marriage to Ellen and her early death but I had no idea that a child had been born to them. I am also aware that this Isaac possibly re married a lady called Rachel Sharpley at the same church in 1854.
 My current brick wall revolves around the fact that I cannot positively confirm this Isaac Reid as my great great grandfather but what I do know is MY Isaac reid was born in or around Macclesfield in the same year as the aforementioned Isaac and that he was also a silk weaver. He was however posted to Plymouth with the Cheshire militia and married a lady called Amelia (My Great Great Grandmother) late 1855. the marriage cert says he is a bachelor but being so far from Macclesfield it was easy to lie and if so all the pieces of the jigsaw suggest a bigamous marriage.
My research needs to confirm what happened to Racheal Sharpley after her marriage to a man called Isaac Reid but I cannot trace her anywere. If they enjoyed a long and happy marriage then this Isaac ain't my ancestor however any other scenario then I may have a rather dubious ancestor to consider.
