I have started to copy the Army lists*/ from 1759 for the 63rd & 96th of Foot. This will be an on going bit of work hopefully finishing in 1958 when the Manchester Regt joined the Kings Liverpool Regt to become the Kings (Manchester & Liverpool) Regt.
I plan to have a complete list of Officers from every Battalion of the:
63rd of Foot.
96th of Foot.
All the Militia.
The Manchester Regular Battalions(1881-1958).
Territorial Battalions (1907-1958).
Volunteer Battalions( may be hit & miss).
I have done the lists from 1758-1830. More to come.
Some Regiments of Foot only lasted one or two years which had a connection to Manchester.
for 1781,82 & 83 you have the 72nd Regt of Foot (RI Manchester Volunteers) Battalion in Gibraltar.
* The Army Lists give brief details of Army Officers from 1754-to-date.
The other list for the Victorian & Edwardian periods is the Hart's List 1839-1915.
