Dear all,
If anyone does want the book in Kew at the National Record Office,
London looking through for names, I can make a trip there
but I don't live in London, so it may take a while.
I looked up my Opperman ancestor in it, imagining that there would be
one or two whom I knew to be living in London, and found over a dozen.
This must mean soldiers were being recruited for it in over for the
Napoleonic war, or that they had come over from the already existing
Hanoverian regiment.
The information it gives is in this form:
Oppermann Charles Pte 5th Co 7th Line.
That's all there is. As a starting point.
Terry
