William Pottinger England b. 1780s??
I am seeking information on my ancestor William Pottinger who was born around 1780 and died by 1812 in England.I know that he had a military career (1795-1812)in England and was married to Sarah (family name unknown). William was apparently invalided home with the 23rd Light Dragoons (not his usual regiment). Also, William and Sarah had two sons:William Pottinger (b. March 1805) and Robert Pottinger (c. 1811 in Canterbury, Saint Mary) who attended the Royal Military Asylum for Children of Soldiers of the Regular Army (later called the Duke of York's Royal Military School) when they were orphaned after the deaths of William (d. 1812)and Sarah (d. ??).William Jr. entered the school in 1812 and Robert in 1818. Any information or possible leads are most appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
