Thanks for the help.  I will open another post in the Military Forum, as I am now getting more questions in my head for my Alexander McHardy.  I have various military records for him but the order doesn't make total sense to me.  Where are you getting the Aberdeen Militia newspaper clippings from Hanes?? - they don't come up on Findmypast....

They are on FindMyPast. Try using the advanced search.

Eg that first one is here. https://www.rootschat.com/links/01t53/

Added..it also seems to give better results if you put “Aberdeen Militia” in the persons name box, rather than the keyword box.

The 1st clipping is from British Newspaper Archive - also available from FindMyPast.

The 2nd is from Gales' British Library Newspapers.
