Armed Forces / Re: Help finding George Pearson Infantry early 1800's please
« on: Tuesday 21 July 09 19:09 BST (UK)  »
Hi Jackie

Here he is being promoted Major - http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/15993/pages/79

Plus:

London Gazette of 3 January 1797 –

He was an Ensign in the 49th Regiment and transferred to the 60th Regiment as Lieutenant, London Gazette of 3 January 1797 - http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/13968/pages/11

http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/13968/pages/11

Also – http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/15104/pages/116 - 2 February 1799,

And he became an Ensign in the 60th here - http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/13941/pages/974 - without purchase. The war with France was in full swing, and not enough officers were buying commissions.

Hope that helps. I am not sure but there may be one missing. You are correct, the George becoming an Ensisgn in 1807 is not him. He dies in 1810 I think.

Alison,
As you most probably know, George Holman was mayor of Lewes, 1898-1901 and 1907-1911. If you search www.a2a.org.uk, it shows that there is quite a bit of information (including photos and newspaper clippings collected by George Holman) that have been deposited at ESRO. I'm assuming that you have all of the family history information related to George Holman (if not, I can point you in the right direction). One other interesting fact that I came across regarding George was that hewas appointed Manager and Secretary of the Sussex Express newspaper in 1888 at a salary of £200 per annum.

Regards

Mark
