67th Brigade 1880
« on: Wednesday 16 August 23 15:25 BST (UK) »
On his marriage entry in 1880, the groom is described as 'Sergeant (67th Brigade)'.

He is proving quite very elusive anyway, but I can't find anything online that suggests there was a 67th Brigade prior to WW1, which clearly doesn't fit here.

It would fit nicely if it were part of the Royal Artillery, but I know nothing about how regiments are constituted, so I wonder if anyone can advise me.

Thanks in advance.

The 67th Brigade Depot was formed in 1879 at Birr from the depots of 100th and 106th regiments, which were previously at Portsmouth.

Thanks for your response Shaun.

Against the odds, he has a very common name it seems, we have now found this man's army record, which shows he was at Birr at the time I needed him to be, so I don't really need to pursue finding out where the 67 Brigade was at any given time.

Thanks again for your help
