History Forum / General / British History / April 20061746: Falkirk-Hawley OOB?
Anyone know where I can look up the details of Hawley's Order of Battle and where the individual units within his command came from or what their prior history was? Any help appreciated!

I had seen this, but apart from the map it's not very detailed though and doesn't give much of the background to the units. or details on each unit, where they had just come from etc SignatureMellivora Capensis > >>Anyone know where I can look up the details of Hawley's > >>Order of Battle and where the individual units within his [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > -- > Mellivora Capensis once you know the units {and they are listed} you can do further searches. are you one of those who wants others to do all your research. >>>>Anyone know where I can look up the details of Hawley's >>>>Order of Battle and where the individual units within his [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > once you know the units {and they are listed} you can do further searches. > are you one of those who wants others to do all your research. Not at all, just looking for references and not neccessarily on the internet either. I actually expect most of it to be in books.

Post-Union and military would usually point you toward the National Archives at Kew.

The War Office's records section in London would be a good start. General "Hangman" Hawley has not been forgotten in the Highlands. For records held in Scotland http://www.nas.gov.uk/guides/military.asp For general British military records http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ Regimental museums sometimes have useful records.

SignatureMellivora Capensis > >>Anyone know where I can look up the details of Hawley's > >>Order of Battle and where the individual units within his [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > -- > Mellivora Capensis There's a list in "Jacobite Rebellions, 1689-1745 ", by Michael Barthorp, Osprey Publishing (1982). The account in "The Thin Yellow Line" by William Moore, Wordsworth Editions (1999) gives the names and numbers of the British and Irish Regiments involved as well as Hawley's hangings afterward. The account in "Annals of the Wars of the Eighteenth Century " by Edward Cust, J. Murray (1869) names the regiments (by the colonels's name) involved on page 69-70. A little more detailed account is in "History of England" by Philip Henry Stanhope, Little, Brown and company (1853), pp. 286-290. He writes "Two of the dragoon regiments, the same that had fled at the Coltbridge and at Preston, being now well skilled and experienced in that military operation, repeated it on this occasion." These were the Irish 13th and 14th Dragoons. It's strange that according to Moore's book "The Thin Yellow Line", Hawley only hung soldier's from the Foot Regiments that ran away. There's a more detailed account from the Jacobite side in "Jacobite Memoirs of the Rebellion of 1745" by Robert Forbes,W. & R. Chambers (1834) These last three are on-line and searchable at Google Books (http://books.google.com) Joe >>>>Anyone know where I can look up the details of Hawley's >>>>Order of Battle and where the individual units within his [quoted text clipped - 47 lines] > three are on-line and searchable at Google Books > (http://books.google.com) Thanks so much!
