in a Scot-Irish community in Canada and what you described of the
family, daughter and illegitimate child would be very typical of how
they would be treated in our community. In my family and neighbours they

Hi Bruce
I have done a fair amount of reading on regiments of the British army and
particular the 100th reg of Foot. I would not assume that your ancestor was
