I wish there had been all that information for 1800. My Gt Gt Grandmother was born at Fort George. Her father was in the Ayrshire Militia and was allowed to have his wife there. I have visited and have seen the records which confirm that the Ayrshire Militia were there between December 1799 and June 1800, but I am anable to find a record of the birth ANYWHERE!  :(
Has anybody any suggestions? Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

My great grandmother was there with my G/GF and had her family with her...I wonder if the women had specific jobs ?
