The actual WO25/548 records state where he is born as the town or parish of Longford and county as Longford. I haven't found any other records confirming this. Always happy to hear from another researcher.Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09699562920337634780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277084528368777332.post-24812434558642653522015-01-07T21:16:53.683-07:002015-01-07T21:16:53.683-07:00I found my notes on Robert St Clair Stoddart from ... I found my notes on Robert St Clair Stoddart from years ago: It says he enlisted in Longford, but how do we know he was born there?

My challenges were looking for records prior to 1760 as the British didn't really know they were staying so didn't bother recording who was in Canada. I appreciate your links.
