Soldiers from Thurso in the West Indies
One of my forebears served in the army in the West Indies (John Oman - Thurso) and had a daughter born there to Helen Finlayson (also Thurso). Does anyone know how Scottish soldiers ended up out there in the early 18OOs or anything about these families??

Hallo Wendy,
I did a google search typing in 'British army 1880s+West Indies'
and there is a page there you might find interesting .
My gt gt grandmother was born in the East Indies - amazing how far
our fore-fathers travelled!
Good luck with your search
