Horse Guards Derby 1772
« on: Tuesday 08 June 10 11:44 BST (UK) »
Hello there!

I am researching a marriage in Derby in 1772 at St Werbergh.

The text reads:
Solomon Pitt, p. St. Peter, of the Horse Guards, & Anne Potter, lic. 23 Apr 1772
The couple had children in Darley a few years later (according to Ancestry and I presume they are meaning Darley Dale)

How would I go about finding out which regiment of the Horseguards he was serving with?

Any ideas much appreciated

Hi Ashley, don't forget it could be Darley Abbey, as that is a lot closer to Derby centre.

That is my worry - I wish they were more precise with their parishes.

I've checked the batch number and it is Darley Dale!

Whew!

Thanks Skewy

When I opened up the website I realised that by a remarkable coincidence I used to work with the Curator!

I'll give him a call now

Cheers
