Welsh cap badge on a shako.
This old painting is of a lad who was at The Welsh School, not military, but if you found just the hat, you would think it was.

There is also the article "Yeomanry Cavalry in Flintshire 1797-1838" by Bryn Owen in the HMS Bulletin May 1975 which describes and illustrates similar head dress.
P.B.

When looking into images and history for the Maylor Cavalry you needed to make sure that you're not looking at something that may have belonged to the East Maylor Infantry.
According to Ripley & Darmanin, Maylor Yeomanry Cavalry 1830-1837. Fits in nicely with the take up of the Bell Top Shako by light cavalry units in 1830. From memory I think I've also seen the MYC referred to as the Wrexham Maylor Cavalry
