Hello Kev

Just on the off chance, could you check for a James Halpin/Halpen who was in the 89th Regiment.

Many thanks

There is this one in the Indian Mutiny medal roll:


Halpin James Private 8th Hussars (King's Royal Irish) 

Not in either casualty roll.

Hi,

I don't know if you can help me with a family research query that's proving a real problem. My GGG Grandfather was Daniel Hinton. We can't find his marriage but on his son's birth certificate in Dec 1862 he gives his occupation as "Private Royal Marines". He doesn't appear on the 1861 census - his wife does under her maiden name so the marriage must have taken place after March 1861. Nor does he appear on the 1851 and by 1871 his wife gives herself as widow. We also can't find his death anywhere.

So, we wondered if he might have been away in the army in 1851/61 and if there might be any record of him in your lists
around that time. If he died abroad would he still have a death certificate?

Anything that would help us find out more would be most gratefully received.

Many thanks
Helen

Hi Helen and Rambler.

Cant find either of them im afraid.

Helen, he would still have a death certificate if he died abroad, it would be listed in the oversea deaths section, it is available on the 1837online site(pay to view), but i have looked and can't see him.

Hi Kev
Do your records for the Indian Mutiny only apply to those killed or wounded?

I am looking for Robert Townsend, Private, 41st Foot who served from at least 1855-1865 but have no idea if he was wounded. I know he went on to claim his pension in the 1880's.

Also, don't know if you can help with this one, do you know if the Army records at Kew are listed under Regiment then name or just name of soldier. The reason I ask is that a contact searched for Robert Townsend for me at Kew. At that time I thought he was in the Sutherland Highlanders the same as his son. She couldn't find his record. Would it help to look in the 41st regiments records please?

many thanks for any help, Sylvia

Hi,

I'm hunting for a Charles George Calland who I know was an Army Major in 1841 and could well have served in India. Any ideas??

Thanks
