grantowi Posted 5 November , 2008 Share Posted 5 November , 2008 Hi Chaps, Has anyone got any thing on this fellow? He joined the Wiltshire regiment (the 1st I belive) and then got a commission to the East Surry regiment (I think) I have him down as being killed, but can't find a record of this. Any help or directions appreciated Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keggy65 Posted 7 November , 2008 Share Posted 7 November , 2008 Grant Just searched via Geoff's search engine - input only 'Barton'. 483 results - I looked at all the 'E's but no matches I'm afraid. Mabel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
