Hello I wonder if someone can tell me anything about a Louis (Lewis) POLSON born 1792 in Kildonan and died 1855 in Glasgow. He left the Kildonan area around 1808 and joined the 42nd (Black Watch) and served with the regiment in Spain, France and at Waterloo and discharged around 1817. He married a Catherine Marshall in Glasgow in 1819. I believe they had children though dont have names. Any help grealty appreciated. Dan
