The Army in Ireland under Charles II - King's Reg't of Guards, Dublin
« on: Friday 08 April 16 03:08 BST (UK) »
An ancestor's burial in St. John's parish of Dublin in 1683 notes "soldier in Captain Morris' Company". With some digging around and research, I found the Captain in question was Captain Richard Morris of the King's Reg't of Guards, which was garrisoned in Dublin city at the time. I'm wondering if anything beyond general regimental history exists- like pay lists, muster rolls, etc.  The ancestor of mine is Daniel Maclaine from Tyrone, who was born around 1655. I believe he must have enlisted while the regiment was on the move around Londonderry as they did guard duty around Ireland but their HQ was Dublin. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it!

Thank you!
MacLean; Kildare, Offaly, Dublin, Meath, Westmeath
