I'm trying to find the dates of the movements of the 2nd battalion, 1st Regiment of Foot (The Royals).
My gt gt grandfather, John WATSON, served with the regiment from 1838-1859, and saw service in Canada, West Indies, Cephalonia & Gibralter, as well as Scotland and Ireland.
I do have a broad outline of dates, but would like more precise ones - which are available- but where?
www.regiments.org used to be my bible, but has gone offline
If I can pin down exactly when he was in Bandon, County Cork, with the regiment, I'll hopefully have a better idea of when he married Catherine O'Connor!
