Can anyone suggest which Gunner unit, probably Garrison Artillery, was stationed in Plymouth in about 1891, please?

There is this report in the Portsmouth Evening News - Saturday 30 November 1895, if it helps

(August Army and Navy Gazette) The Western Division RGA had two batteries and the depot at Plymouth.  There are no Horse or Field Artillery units there.  However, there were militia artillery units at various times in Plymouth, not easy to track those.

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,

Thanks to you both.  I am looking into a later phase of the RGA’s RSM in 1891, who was listed in the census that year in a private house, not barracks.
