Does anyone know how or where I can get information about which regiments were stationed in Gibraltar in 1850?


Any suggestions gratefully received.

There is an old thread, possibly by you or someone researching the Miller's here

One reply states
Stations of the British Army at 1 Jan 1851 (from the United Service Gazette))
At Gibraltar the 26th, 56th and 67th Regiments

Another
the 56th Regiment of Foot were there in Feb 1850 (Cheltenham Chronicle, Feb 1850- "56th Regt, both battalions at Gibraltar") and left May 1851 (Wikipedia).
