I’m Certainly going to keep this one in mind, but it doesn’t feel right. My man was born in 1798 and in all the references that I KNOW refer to him, he’s described as either a miller or a soldier, never an agricultural labourer.
Following an extensive newspaper search, the 33rd Regiment of Foot are now in the frame because they were at Nottingham during the latter months of 1818 and then went on to Guernsey in 1819, leaving in late 1819 and moving on to Newcastle via Woodstock. This all tallies with details from parish registers.
