RA Fort Leith.....

Post by Jacquie » Wed Jun 07, 2006 4:08 am

Hi,
Would anyone have an idea of what regiment would be at Fort Leith in March 1876. I have a greatgranpa married in Leith, on that date who gives his occupation as Bombardier (RA) Usual Residence-Fort Leith.
Thanks for any help

Hi Jacquie,

Welcome to TalkingScot.

The 1881 census shows the Royal Artillery to be at Leith Fort. That goes along with the RA you found on the certificate.

All the best,
