ChallengeAZ 2017—A Bangle Dictionary | K for Kew

Let’s go back to William Hogan (Mary Bangle’s husband) and the 49th Foot Regiment he was part of. Unfortunately, to learn more about William’s fate, a visit to Great Britain’s National Archives in Kew would actually be necessary. Although Library and Archives Canada has the British colonial era’s documents in its Military Heritage collection, it does not include the Regiments’ muster rolls which contain, for each year, information about where a private was stationed and where he was transferred to. By perusing earlier years, you may even find when he entered the regiment as well as where he originated from.
