Location on Muster Lists
« on: Thursday 18 July 19 12:08 BST (UK) »
I have an ancestor William Trow(u)sdale/Trow(u)sdell born Gilling, Yorkshire in 1785 who enlisted in the 2nd Life Guards in 1804; he was discharged in 1814 having been 'ruptured in Portugal'. He married in 1805 & had children baptised, all in Marylebone, in 1806, 1808, 1811 & 1813.

Ancestry has the Muster Lists for the 2nd Life Guards, which I understand to be a reserve regiment, for 1808 onwards, with William on them. I have downloaded them & tried looking at the first & last page of each but cannot see where the unit was at the time. Should the location be on the List or am I missing something - they all seem to have been signed off at Hyde Park. How do I find out exactly when William was in Portugal?

Thanks for any help.

He'd be in the Peninsular War against Napoleon.  Britain fought with Spain and Portugal.

Thanks; from Roger's link it seems the 2nd Life Guards went to Portugal in 1812.
