John Taylor in 2nd West Yorkshire Militia in Edinburgh 1807-1814?
« on: Tuesday 14 June 16 13:11 BST (UK) »
Good Morning,

My 3rd great grandmother Margaret Taylor was born in Edinburgh to John Taylor in 1814. She is the only one on that branch of my family born outside of Sheffield, England. The most likely birth record for Margaret has her father John Taylor listed as a private with the 2nd West Yorkshire Militia. Margaret's mother is listed as Christian Fraser.

Would the 2nd West Yorkshire been in Edinburgh in 1814? Is there a way to learn more about John Taylor and the 2nd West Yorkshire Militia? Thank you very much for any assistance, Barbara Baxter
