From the 1840's rail transport was common over long distances in UK. Otherwise, marching. In the early 1800's, marching, perhaps some transport by narrow boats on canals if available. I remember reading Quarter Sessions records in Gloucestershire County records, the Army had to get legal clearance for troop movements. Even where it involved a corporal and 8 men. I read one such record authorising such a group from Gloucestershire to the Isle of Wight!

BumbleB’s question related to South Arica and India, not the UK. ;D

Same applies to South Africa and India when railways available, bonus really. Winston Churchill was captured on a train in Boer War.

Many thanks, everyone.  I think I can now close this particular subject (hurray, says Max  ;D ).
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!

I am Zoe Northeast, granddaughter of Maximilian Double.
 
It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
Zoe
