	Looking for any one who likes a challenge and possibly into the Militia's 1810 I've been on this for 20yrs , but keep getting little snip it's extra This last one is John McAlpine born Scotland abt 1785 and wife Margaret Donaldson had a son George McAlpine when they were at Woodbrige Barracks Not sure If John went there on the HMS Britannia But we found out he was a Landsman apparently that is like a volunteer sailor. I was wondering if he would have had to sign on if so where So in all these years I've got he married Margaret Donaldson 1807 Haddington he was a soldier in the Berwickshire Militia went to Woodbridge barracks had a son George 1810 and was a Landsman on HMS Britannia Any surgestions on where to look next Thank you

I assume she wants someone to wave a magic wand and find the answer. Added: if John served in the Royal Navy he would/ should have been on the muster roll.
