93rd Sutherland Highlanders

[JudithS]

Hello 

I am looking for help please    with records for the above, in finding individuals muster and pay records. ( we are from Aust and Canada - are they online at Kew?) Help with looking for them please........they look daunting. Would there be an attestation record for individuals? Mention of parents to whom the pay might have been paid?

We do not know exactly when he was discharged so that is a problem apparently with finding records at Kew. It would have been while in Canada as he married 1841 Toronto, while still in service, and continued on perhaps until his regiment left for Scotland. He lived in Canada the remainder of his days. We could try each year after 1841 for discharge. Any ideas about record repositories in Canada or would the records and pay details remain in place from Scotland?

Kenneth Cameron b. abt 1810 Ross shire Scotland was a Colour Sergeant, regiment no: 457..."...the 93rd was ordered to Canada in December of 18, co-incident upon the rising of 1837, there. January, 1838, the regiment, in two divisions, embarked at Cork, one under Lieut.-Colonel Duncan MacGregor, and the other under command of Major Arthur. Both divisions were united at Halifax. During the troubles in Canada the regiment had not an opportunity of meeting the enemy except at Prescott, at the attack and capture in the Windmill. At this period the regiment was very much divided, but before the end of the year, 1838, the companies came together at Toronto, where Lieut.- Colonel Spark took command in succession to Lieut.-Colonel MacGregor. Its stay in Canada extended over ten years. It remained in Toronto from the beginning of 1838 until the 17th June, 1845, with the exception of one year—May. 1840, to May, 1841—when it was stationed at Drummondsvillie, near Niagara Falls...'

Look forward to the militia wizards advice.
