Perthshire Militia, 1804-05

The original un-dated document concerning the Perthshire Militia was noticed in the Perth Archives (PE66/Bundle 10). The date at which it had been written was unknown but, by comparing the listed men to their marriage dates and to the baptismal dates of their children, it is certain that it pertains to 1804-05.

The list contains no unmarried men, just married men, with the wife's name and the number of children. This suggests that the wife and her bairns were to be compensated if the militia man died. Presumeably the aged parents of single men had no such recourse.

Some of the original surnames were incorrect and have been amended (e.g. Duncan Letton in Aldclune was Duncan Setton). Likewise, a number of the settlements were not given, or were vague. Addition information has been added (in parentheses) when it was available from the Minister of Moulin's parish census, 1806.
