Culloden and Bannockburn

[MrSaunders]

Does anyone know if there is a researched list of the participants of these two battles? I expect Bannockburn would be the bigger challenge being 1314 as supposed to Culloden in 1746. There a few mentioned of casualties on their Wikipedia pages but I wondered if perhaps an academic study had taken place? Any thoughts, comments welcome!

Apart from the nobility you can forget Bannockburn. Culloden is different, the Jacobites were regimented & the Muster-rolls (such as they are) are detailed in "No Quarter Given!" by editors Livingstone, Aikman & Hart.

I've managed to find this book that has been preserved by the Google archiving project. The book is called 'A List of Persons Concerned in the Rebellion'. It appears to have been printed in 1890 with the information taken from various transcripts, etc available at the time. It can be read online at: https://archive.org/details/alistpersonscon00excigoog

Even found a few members from branches of my own family tree in there. Quite interesting.

Nice find Ricki!

Thanks Skoosh and Ricki - both books look excellent. Given the dates I'm going to focus on Culloden! Any other books or resources out there that list the people and families involved in both sides of Culloden?

@ Mr Saunders, off the top of my head, Maggie Craig has a couple of good reads, "Damned Rebel Bitches!" Women of the '45, & "Bare-Arsed Banditti!"

The National Archives website has a section dedicated to the Jacobite uprisings at: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/resources/jacobite-1745/

Appears to have a lot of documents including lists of prisoners, fighters, letters, maps, etc. This might help a bit.

Thanks Ricki. I just found this project which is very near what I was hoping to do. I will make contact with the owner. Thought you both might like to see it - https://jdb1745.net
