Meaning of exc. and h.p.
« on: Monday 26 August 19 03:53 BST (UK) »
I have an entry from the United Service Magazine for September 1831 as follows:

30th Foot. Brev. Lieut-Col Edward Anthony Angelo, from h. p. of the Newfoundland Fencibles, to be Capt. vice Charles Wynne Barrow who exc.

Does this mean that Brevet Lieutenant Colonel Edward Anthony Angelo, a half pay (h.p.) officer with the Newfoundland Fencibles has swapped (exc. - exchanged?) with Captain Charles Wynne Barrow of the 30th Foot?

Thank you all kindly

I would expect the Magazine took as its source, the London Gazette ...

Thank you most kindly, that explains it nicely.

So it's off to have a look at Newfoundland.

Hello,
The person of concern for me is Charles Wynne Barrow.
We've completely lost him since 1831, have only been able to track him through promotions, so are hoping that he went to Newfoundland to go on the half pay as a member of the now (as it has been for 15 years - disbanded in 1816) defunct Newfoundland Fencibles.

Just as an aside, they do seem to have a fairly illustrious history. But the regiment was raised from ex military men in Newfoundland specifically for one purpose.

Best, Keith
