Wiltshire Militia - Napoleonic Wars
« on: Saturday 05 February 11 20:17 GMT (UK) »
I'm hoping that someone who has researched an ancestor who served in the Wiltshire Militia can tell me the locations where the regiment was stationed during the Napoleonic Wars.

I have an ancestor in a different militia regiment whose movement I traced during this period using the muster rolls at The National Archives. The regiment changed its location quite frequently (but being a militia regiment never served overseas).

Try the Regimental Museum on www.thewardrobe.org.uk    They have a militia section

If the muster rolls have survived at Kew, they give the location on a month to month basis.
