Which Regiments in NORFOLK 1815
« on: Tuesday 28 March 06 12:35 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone

My ancestor, William Wood's occupation in 1815 was Artillery Man when his first child was born. He married in 1808 which suggests a gap of seven years when he may have been away with the regiment.

Does anyone know how I could find out about his military history or what unit he served in?  Also, are there any websites which would list various units for Norfolk at this time?

Thankyou
Cazay
