Talk:William Spring (British Army officer)

Incorrect year of death.
According to the History of the Fifty-seventh (West Middlesex) Regiment of Foot 1755-1881 compiled from official and other sources by H. H. Woollright he died in 1829, aged 55. Conversely ''The royal lineage of our noble and gentle families. Together with their paternal ancestry'' compiled by Joseph Foster his death date is given as 14 August 1825. The Kerry Evening Post of 25 June 1834 has a notice of the marriage the "eldest son of the late Lieutenant Colonel Spring, 57th Regiment". So definitely not 1839.

 * A death notice appeared in the Freeman's Journal on 23 August 1825. Lozleader (talk) 19:27, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
