I am fairly sure my great great grandfather Jonathan Bishop born 1813 in Worcester was a soldier. All the indications are that he was, he lived in Cork and married a Irish woman from that city and was a prison warder for a good part of his life. His families business was manufacturing gloves and milliinery and he worked at Worcester Jail before he retired on a pension. Now having said all that, assuming he joined the local regiment it could well have been the Worcesters. Were the Worcesters in Ireland about that time? Can anyone help?
