4th Dragoon Guards
« on: Sunday 28 October 18 21:01 GMT (UK) »
This is the details of my 4x great grandmothers marriage in 1824. ** 15 [May], Bartie, William, Shoemaker in Footdee & Jean Thom there, daughter of James, Soldier 4th Reg[iment] Dragoon Guards. C.C. Alex. Moir and H. Leslie.**

Can anyone help point me in any direction where I can find out more about James Thom in the Dragoon Guards please? What uniform he would have worn, where he would have served etc. Thank you .

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
