I am sorry this is not related directly to the 74th Regiment but I have a
relative who was in the 73rd Regiment of Foot. His name was John
McAllister. He left Tasmania, Australia with his family and his regiment in
1815. Do anyone know how I can find his military records? I live in
Australia so I would have to send for them. Thank you.
Regards
S Duggan

Greetings,
Welcome to the 74TH_REGIMENT_OF_FOOT list. This list is for all persons that are either descendants of the men of the 74th who settled in New Brunswick/Nova Scotia or other persons interested in the 74th. To kick off the list and get some threads started please send in your ancector's name and some data you may have on him, i.e. family, location of where he settled in New Brunswick/Nova Scotia. I'll start out giving my data.
My ancestor was James Stuart, who served with the 74th at Castine in t
I've just found a death record for an ancestor who died in 1868 age 74
in Edinburgh. On her certificate it stated her husband (Robert Falconer,
deceased) was a private in the 74th regiment. They were married in 1811
- so assume they were born around early 1890's. They had 4 children
between 1817 & 1826 in Edinburgh.
Any ideas where he may have served - and where I might find his death
records? I'm sure he was deceased by 1846 (based on some letters written
between 2 of Robert's sons between 1843-1846.

List members,
Actually my ancestor served with the 98th Regiment of Foot (Prince of Wales)
but since his story is similar to the 74th, I joined this list.
Patrick DONNELLAN was one of my 3rd great grandfathers:
"Born: Roscommon Ireland c.1784. Enlisted 21 Sep 1804 at age 20. Served
1804-1818.
Patrick fought on the side of the British during the Napoleonic Wars and,
upon cessation, was among a number of the fighting men who were granted land in
Canada as a reward for service. Patrick was a Sergean
Hello,
I wanted to pass on a website that has some data on the siege at Penobscot. There also is some data on the 74th Regiment of Foot there. Seems like a few of the 74th related web sites just disappeared. I wish I had captured the data from the sites. Please feel free to post any websites that you know of that have 74th data on them.
Regards,
Fred
