Hi,
According to family writtings on my family my lineage had two officers at the Battle of the Boyne. They both were born Ayrshire Scotland, and were English officers?? Is there any place to review records of a unit that was raised to fight on the English side but from Scotland?

1.) John Beatty, Born About 1665, Ayrshire Scotland
Married Before 1705, Died 1729, lived in County Antrim,Ireland
Other Spouse(s) 1. Elise Ross, 2. Christiana Clinton
Parents John Beatty and Jane Ross

Officer in the British Army, lived in Antrim, Ireland.
FA2: Date: 1690, PLace: went to Ireland after the battle of the Boyne. Went with James.

2. James Beatty, Born About 1670, Ayrshire, Scotland
Married: 1st marriage, Ireland, Died 1745 Hillsborough-Ballykeel-Ednagonnel, Co Down, IRE
Other Spouse(s) 1. Agnes maiden name unk. Beatty, 2. Sarah Ross, First name unk. maiden name unk Beatty
Parents John Beatty and Jane Ross

~~~~~~~~~
Both were supposed to have been at the battle!

How can I prove this?

Thank you
