51st regiment
« on: Sunday 25 July 21 09:42 BST (UK) »
Hello

My ancestor joined the 51st Regiment of foot in April 1790, just after his 16th birthday. If there is a record of it in the Muster rolls, I cannot find it. Can anyone help? thanks

Where are you looking? Muster rolls for the 51st Regiment for that time frame are with the National Records of Scotland and don't seem to be on line.

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,

interesting... a relative told me she had seen the muster at National Records in Kew. Sadly, she is no longer around to ask again.

ShaunJ is right.  Schoolboy error, the records in Scotland are for the Edinburgh Regiment of Militia )51st Regiment), no relation to the Yorkshire regiment!!  Apologies.

Thanks all for replies.

The National Archives won't help. Apparently, the record is in a box. Typical, if you live outside London you have to go there or pay an agent to do it for you. Tough luck if your living on a pension and moreover live several hundred miles away from London.
