Musters 25th KOSB

[Jaznjjj]

I would appreciate some advice about where to locate paylists and musters for the KOSB between 1831 and 1838 please.  I did add to an old thread related to the 25th but nobody has jumped onto it.
Thank you, Jennifer

I see from your other post that you are interested in the Regiment's movements in the 1830's.  If you have access to any of the newspaper databases you can find this information by searching for "Stations of the British Army".

Thank you.  I am endeavouring to track a particular soldier and I have some idea of the movements of the regiment as a whole - but your suggestion may help with identifying detachments as well as movement of soldiers between the depot and service companies. I am also on the lookout for indications how many wives might have been accompanying the 25th when they served overseas. I am aware there were quotas. Also how losses on the battlefield affected recruitment. I am interested to know at that time whether there was good reason for a soldier to enlist other than the bounty paid given the high casualty rate. This soldier received three pounds; had a wife and young family. Later transferred to the 11th (1838) and that event is of interest. Jennifer
