I would appreciate it if some one might be able to have a look at the Sands directory for

                           George Bamford from 1870 to 1922

I know his brother, James was a bootmaker,             and believe George to be a tobacconist
 
from 1885 to 1890 he was in Woolahra, Petersham and Leichhardt and died in 1922 at Petersham

Thank you

Hi Neil

I just received in the mail another 5 letters from George Bamford to his brother James in Australia.

In his last letter to his brother he was stationed in Meerut East India May 14th 1865.

I hope that might help with narrowing down where he was .

I will see if I can get a look up from another site as to him being in the UK in 1871.

I know from his letter, he is saying that he will come to his brother in Australia, when his time is up in the Army.

It is very interesting reading these letters, and I hope to work out everything in them.

Thank you for your help and look forward to hearing from you

Regards

Hi Ken

Thank you for responding to my query about George Bamford in the "Rifle Brigade"

Yes, I couldn't believe my luck to find he had included in the letter, his regimental number, very good of him.

Thank you for your offer to have a look at Kew, next time you are there.

I know from his letter, that at one time he was wounded and spent 7 days in hospital and my relative tells me there is another 3 or 4 letters that he wrote to his brother that she has. She is going to post them to me and hopefully I will be able to glean a lttle more info out of them

Until I hear from you again,

Thank you

Regards

Hi
I was hoping you might be able to find information for me on
 
George Bamford               (some times mis-transcribed as Bumford) 
service no: 4789
he was in the No:8 Company 2nd battalion P.C.O. Rifle Brigade and was in Subathu, India in March 1862.
I do know that he was wounded but continued on after a stay in hospital.
Any information would be appreciated
Thank you

How fantastic is this........

I just received in the mail a copy of a letter written 15th March, 1862 in Subathoo India from GEORGE BAMFORD to his brother James in Australia.

James is my GGGrandfather and George is his brother.

Now the exciting part is that George has included his details of when he enlisted

name: George Bamford
He was sworn in on the 23rd March 1855 at Liverpool
Army number: 4789
No: 8 Company 2nd Battalion
P.C.O. Rifle Brigade

I know that at the time of 1862, he still had family living in Liverpool as he mentions that he received a letter from home 2 days before this and this is what he wrote....

"trade is very bad at Liverpool, they are working two days a week and no prospect of working any more"

My question is,
 
can any one help me  to find his enlistment details, details of his record within the army and when he left the army.
Also if possible if he went back to the UK, was killed in action or if he then went to live in Australia.

Thank you
Jan (Australia)
