51st Regiment of Foot at Northallerton
« on: Saturday 16 July 16 10:31 BST (UK) »
I have a marriage of Nicholas Henning, Serjeant 51st Foot to Jane Fossick of Burneston, North Yorkshire on 10 Feb 1806.  According to the Banns he was quartered at Northallerton.

A year later they had a son Thomas baptised at Burneston, son of William Nicholas Henning Serjeant of the 51st Regiment and his wife Jane of Exelby.  There is a William Henning, Serjeant of 51st in the Medal Rolls, he took part in the battle of Corunna.

Where would the 51st Foot have been based while in Northallerton?  How do I find records?
I would be grateful for any advice.

The Morning Post of 21 January 1806 (page 4) carries a notice of contributions to the Patriotic Fund,  including one day's pay of the Officers, NCO's, and Privates of Capt. Rice's Company of the 51st Regiment, at Northallerton.
