Kev 

 Thank you very much :) for the look up and referrals to other info on the 61st.

I don't know what we would do without people like you and others here who take the time (a lot of your own time!) to help.

Hi, I hope you can help.  I have two ancestors who died or were killed in India but I don't know the circumstances.
My 3 x Great Grandfather Thomas O'Connell from Cork served as a Private in the 3rd Madras European Regiment and died in about 1867/8.
My 2 x Gt Grandfather (who married Thomas O'Connell's daughter) was James Magee and he served in the Royal Horse Artillery as a Quarter Master Sergeant. I'm not sure of the Battalion he was in as the original marriage certificate I have is so faded.  He must have died between 1864 and 1869.
There is a possibility he also served in the Crimea, but in the Royal Artillery as a Gunner/Driver, prior to going to India.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Margaret,

This is a bit odd.

He appears to be listed in the medal roll.

But i can't find the 92nd foot in the casualty rolls at all?

Kev.

Many, many thanks Kev. This is a real find - I've been searching for James Logan for ages.

Do you think it is worth contacting the Gordon Highlanders for any further information?

Regards
Margaret

Caroline, the records for the indian mutiny only cover 1857-59.


Margaret, i think it is well worth contacting them to see if they have any info.
