Hello, I am doing some family history research for a friend and have discovered the following information about one of his ancestors:
Mary Beadle b.28/12/1807 c.17/1/1807, Christ Church, Tynemouth, 1st daughter of John Beadle, Royal Cornwall Regiment of Militia, and Mary Walling John and Mary married on 28/4/1805 at St George, East Stonehouse, Devon
From research I have discovered that the reigment had two battalions, one of which went to the Battle of Copenhagen, 1807.
My questions are these: how do I discover anything more about which battalion John was in? If he came back? Why were he and his pregnant wife in Tynemouth?
