Lookup offer for crimea casualty list and indian mutiny

[Australis]

Hi Kev,

Bit of a problem here, am searching for my gt.gt.uncle Thomas Edwards b 1836 Stretton under Fosse, Warwickshire.  Family legend has it that he may have fought in the Crimea and Indian Mutiny, his brother Jesse went to the USA and fought in the American Civil War in 1861, he was 10 years Thomas' junior b 1846 (I have documented evidence of this).  Thomas appears on the 1911 UK census as an army pensioner, I think he would have been a bit old for the Boer War.  He appears again on the 1871 census 6 years before he got married in 1876.  Would you have any information on any Thomas Edwards - if he did fight in these wars he survived !!

Any help would be gratefully received.

Hi
Can I take up your kind offer of looking up casualty list for indian mutiny - I am looking for Joseph Booth who served with the 34th Regiment of Foot and was blinded in about 1860 in India - if you can supply me with further info I would be grateful.  Thank you.

This is my first posting so if I have got protocol wrong - my apologies

Hi Kev,

Am complete beginner at this so hope I'm doing this correctly.  Would be very grateful if you could look up Charles Glasgow, 42nd Foot, Indian Mutiny when convenient, unfortunately have no other info on him but assured he was there.   Many thanks,  Caro

I understand that the 2 Luffmans I mentioned above were involved in the defence of a school in the mutiny and feature on a memorial to the mutiny. Does anyone know anything about them please?

I'll will lock the thread until things get better for him...

Wishing him well.
