Hi,
Sorry to take so long to reply. Thank you very much for the records on John Nelly. I had found his name on a list of casualties in the Crimea, with the notation 'seriously wounded' and had made the assumption that he had died from wounds, as I wasn't able to find any mention of him after that.
Are you researching the whole Nelly family or is there anyone family member in particular? Michael Nelly is my husband's great grandfather. We have a studio photo of him taken by Frank MacFadyen Photographers, 151 Barras Bridge, Newcastle on Tyne, England. Michael is a young dandy in the photo, so probably taken in the early 1850s.
Regards Maureen
