Welcome to our community, Paul.

I hope that you can help with this family - one I find interesting.

Whilst I think Primrose's father was Donald, a gardener, I know nothing about his ancestry.

Primrose may have been in the Royal Wagon Train, a forerunner of the army supply corps

He is listed in the muster books of the 1st Dragoon Guards as Corporal, commanders escort, 25th December 1815.

He fought at Waterloo and was a Bow Street 'horse patrol' officer in London from 1820 to 1840.

He appears to have been in France in 1819, when his son, William, was born

All in all, and interesting man.  Are you a descendant?

Yours aye,

William

 
 
 

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
