Sorry for being so tardy in my replies. Thanks for all your help I've had a look at Regiments.org but they don't have individual records and there doesn't seem to be a regimental museum. Have tried the Nat Archives but they only seem to have WW1and2 and specific campaign records online so I think it will be a trip to Kew. Thanks fatrascal didn't know about the Borthwick institue, they seem to have records from the chocolate factories too and family legend has it that side of the family came down from Scotland to work in them. So will have to make a trip oop north as well!
