May be after that they were refered to as militia men
I have a birth certificate that could be their daughter Marian 1795 golspie Sunderland in which he is a Rhiorn soldier,
and their son Alexander was in the Militia when he married in Linlithgow 1810

From the account I posted at 17:16, looks the South Fencibles only existed for 5 years, disbanding in April 1783.
One incident that involved them:

Thank you
Not sure I was hoping it would give me more info
Out of those their is 2 that could be possibles that is only that the date was 1787 one deffinatly isn't him as Dof B was too late 1772 My Alexander had a child 1781 so I'm looking at birth 1765c
Is this all you get or can you go further into the info ust looked at all the birth certificates and their is only Helen 1782 that actually says he was in the Fencibles ? I'll check their wedding certificates

Thank you George Do you do credit
The Guy I'm looking for is Alexander Murray
not sure when or where he was born he was married to Cecilia Law (yet again no marriage) they had at least 5 children Elizabeth born Irvine 1781 , Helen 1782 St Cuthberts ( this states he was in the South Fencibles at Fountain Briggs) Alexander 1785 Barony Lanarkshire Catherine 1789 Barony and Marion 1790c Alexander was their 4th child Cecilia his wife died in 1807 in Linlithgow
So I'm afraid that is all I have <3

I've been making enquiries about an ancester who was in the South Fencibles in 1785 from the national archives they are saying that find my past have records which you have to pay for to view? The national archives want £60 + to do a search
Has anyone viewed any records of this kind through Find my Past if so how much does it cost and was it worth it
Thank you
