Re your posts concerning Glen Andred and Groombridge you may still be interested in details of the Miss Galloway who was the principal of the educational establishment which was based there at the end of the first world war. Please see below.

Most of the source material regarding teaching is either from Cambridge University archives or newspaper advertisements for schools. It is believed that at some time she taught in South Africa – possibly in the early or late 1880s. She was unmarried. Further details of the source material can be supplied if of interest. Any information regarding the move to or away from Glen Andred would be of interest to me as would any photographs of the lady in question.

Garen,

It looks as if he returned to Britain in the middle of 1881 and that the rest of his family could have returned any time between early 1881 and early 1882 (I have not found them in the 1881 census).
I shall have to try the BNA on HMT departures/arrivals to narrow down possible return dates.

Here is a follow up to my first posting.

This is an extract from the National Archive record of my ancestor’s army service. It shows he was in India in the 10th Hussars at the time of the Second Afghan War. It seems strange that he was court martialled and then demoted immediately upon his transfer from the 21st Hussars to the 10th Hussars in 1874. I should like to find out what part, if any, he took in the Second Afghan War campaign and details of his (or his family’s) return journey to Britain.

Private (discharge rank) Henry Dunford, No. 1390, 10th Hussars

Event               Date

Home               02.02.1860 – 30.10.1860
India               31.10.1860 – 11.06.1881
Home               12.06.1881 – 21.06.1881

Enlisted            31.01.1860
Bengal Light Cavalry      02.02.1860
21st Hussars            01.05.1861
Saddler Sergeant         05.05.1865
Married (Maria Ogden aged 16)   13.09.1869
10th Hussars            30.04.1874 (volunteered 1873 to stay in India)
Court Martial            01.05.1874
Private            02.05.1874
Discharged (Canterbury depot)   12.07.1881

I do have further details of his children’s births (in India and UK).

Hi researchers.

I am new to this forum. This is my first posting.

I have an ancestor who served in the British Army (10th Hussars) in India at the time of the Second Afghan war. I have details of his service record and his immediate family at that time. I would be interested in any further details about his service in India and further information about the method and dates of his and his family’s return to Britain.

Don
