Galton Elizabeth 4 1837 Ireland F Soldier's child

Galton Martha 2 1839 F Soldier's child

Galton John 1 1840 Scotland M Soldier's child

There are two surnames of soldiers which are indecipherable. However one is a 15 yr old trumpeter, the other a 30 yr old Corporal, but neither name appears anything like Galton.

Perhaps Elizabeth’s husband was absent from the barracks on the relevant day?

Officers

Lieutenant Haviland appears to be the only officer with his wife present.

There’s also Sarah Templeton, 20, listed as Servant to Officer’s lady. Can we assume that this was Mrs Haviland?

The Captain 4th on the list appears to be Sir (Lord) Henry Charles Paulet, eldest son of Lord Henry Paulet. He was created a Baronet in honour of his late father in 1836. Any further information about him?

Other Ranks.

There are 126 Privates listed. Of these, 18 (15%) give their place of birth as Scotland, and 24 (20%) as Ireland.

In addition the Regiment’s Farrier is also Irish, as are 1 Sergeant and 1 Corporal, and the Nurse at the Regimental Hospital.

Likewise there is 1 Sergeant and 1 Corporal listed as Scottish.

And a snippet from 1828,

London Mar 21 1828

On the 31st in the Nisi Prius court, Dennis Galligan, a private in the Enniskillen dragoons, obtained £250 damages against Major Whichcote and Captain Portman of that regiment, for ducking him in the river Don at Sheffield.

He was led from the barracks to the river by soldiers with his arms pinioned, and twice thrown into the water.

John Adams was there as Barrack Serjeant (spelling as per original) in 1837; under Barrack Master Lieutenant Hery Duperier (who lived at Philadelphia).
