There is an old thread, possibly by you or someone researching the Miller's here

One reply states
Stations of the British Army at 1 Jan 1851 (from the United Service Gazette))
At Gibraltar the 26th, 56th and 67th Regiments

Another
the 56th Regiment of Foot were there in Feb 1850 (Cheltenham Chronicle, Feb 1850- "56th Regt, both battalions at Gibraltar") and left May 1851 (Wikipedia).

Does anyone know how or where I can get information about which regiments were stationed in Gibraltar in 1850?


Any suggestions gratefully received.
