Hi There,

Please can anyone point me in the right direction on regiments that were stationed at Newport on the Isle of Wight in 1824.

Kind Regards

Are you able to focus on a particular month?  The newspapers available on Findmypast have 80 hits for reports relating to different regiments through the year at Albany Barracks  - you could trawl those listing all the regiments as you go.
 It appears to be the only barracks listed in an 1833 guide to the IoW;

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,

Hi MaxD,

Thanks for answering and pointing me in the right direction.

My ancestor is William Tiffin baptised 4th July 1824 St Thomas of Canterbury, Newport, Isle of Wight, son of John Tiffin b.c1794 and Ellen Bolan b.c1794

William married Jane Vigurs in 1859 Plymouth, Devon. stating Profession of Father:(Deceased)John private of the 77th Regiment.

I looked up the 77th Regiment, they wasn't on the Isle of Wight in 1824 they were elsewhere, so i'm wondering John Tiffin was with another regiment at that time.

Regards

His name doesn't bring up anything in the (sparse) on line records for that time as far as I can tell from Ancestry and Findmypast.

John Tiffin attested for 77th Regiment at Portsmouth on 13 July 1813 aged 16 born Braintree. One of several young men from Essex recruited via the East Essex militia. A bricklayer.

To Corporal 28 August 1823
To Sergeant 5 November 1826

Died 7 October 1831 at Stony Hill, Jamaica if I am reading the record correctly.

Another child Mary Ann Tiffin was baptised in Galway on 11 April 1820, parents John (77th Regiment) and Eleanor (nee Bolan). https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interactive/61039/02436_10_0019

I'm guessing that when John Tiffin sailed for Jamaica with his regiment, wife Ellen/Eleanor travelled from Ireland to Newport IoW to be with friends or relatives.  It would be interesting to know who were the sponsors at that 1824 RC baptism.
