Soldiers based in Oxfordshire during 1800/1810s
« on: Monday 31 January 05 14:14 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

 SORRY I HAVE POSTED IN THE WRONG ROOM!

I have an ancestor who was recorded as being a soldier on his children's baptism records in the parish of Sutton Courtenay, Berkshire. He doesn't seem to have married in the parish, or be buried there. His wife was from the parish so presumably that's why the family were based there. They had several children over a 12 year period, all of whom were baptised in Sutton Courtenay, and all had 'soldier' listed as the fathers occupation.

I'm interested in knowning whether anyone has a list of the where any barracks were in Berkshire during the 1800s/1810s, and if possible, which regiments were stationed there.

Thanks

Paula
