Was there another incarnation of the regiment?

[edit]

I query the implication there was no regiment of that numbering between 1820 and WWII. According to this biography in the History of Parliament of Richard Seymour-Conway (ultimately 4th Marquess of Hertford)[:https://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1820-1832/member/seymour-conway-richard-1800-1870] there is an officer who held a half-pay commission as Captain in the 22nd Dragoons from 1823 until his death in 1870. Was it possible for commissions to be purchased in disbanded regiments? I notice BTW the paragraph about the earlier incarnations of the regiment has no citations concerning the years between 1783 and 1820 so have raised a citation need against the sentences, particularly with regard to the statement of the 1820 disbandment.Cloptonson (talk) 08:28, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
