Militia Lists and Musters 1767-1876

Fourth edition. Compiled by Jeremy Gibson and Meryvn Medlycott. 48 pages. ISBN 1-86006-123-0.

During the 18th and early 19th centuries parishes were liable to provide a small number of men from training, but these were initially chosen from most able-bodied men. Thus lists of all those eligible had to be drawn up, from which the ballot was made, and where these survive (between 1757 and 1831) they provide a quasi census. The Posse Comitatus (1798) and Levée en Masse (1803-4) also provide census-type of informaton, which is of greatest interest to family and local historians. The records listed in this Guide are of the reconstituted Militia from 1757 onwards, and various others engendered by the Napoleonic Ward between 1797 and 1815, covering England , Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
