Lookup offer for crimea casualty list and indian mutiny

[Daffodilly]

Hello Kev,

You have done a wonderful job for people, I wonder if you could do the same for me?

I have several Bunch men who could have been in India (James, George, Francis, Adam, John) and a James Bunch (their father) who is reported to have been in the Crimea.  Do you have any Bunches in your records, it would be lovely to know.

Many thanks

Daff

ps. forgot to say they were variously in the 42nd, 72nd and 78th.

Hi Daffy,

Wish I was having as much luck. It looks like my Grandad just posed for a photo in any old uniform! He was known to tell tall stories(that's why Grandma divorced him).

Good luck with your research today!

Hi everyone, will try and go through this.

I only have access to the Crimea and Indian Mutiny casualty rolls and the Indian Mutiny Medal(which is now online)

So in order:


Sylvia, for some reason the 41st foot aren't listed in the indian mutiny list , the sutherlands are and he isn't listed.
I am unsure of the records at kew, but if you ask on the armed forces board someone will know.



Brigcs, there IS a Charles Calland in the indian mutiny medal roll, private in the 1st Battalion 24th Foot (2nd Warwickshire)


Hi Paul, i dont have the medal roll so sorry i can't help with that.


Daff, thank you.

Nothing in the crimea casualty roll but.

Bunch James Private 42nd Foot (Royal Highland) in the indian mutiny medal list.


Hope that helps, and to those it doesn't best of luck with your search.

Kev.

Thanks Kev

My mistake, I should have read your first post more carefully.

Kev, thanks for looking.  So does that mean that the father would have only been on your list if he was killed or injured?  I know he died before 1864 and not in Scotland.

Thank you.

Dear Kev

when you have a moment could you check the casualty records for three men who are listed in the on line Indian mutiny medal list?

private Bernard McSpiril (it should be McSpirit but is often mis heard/mistranscribed) of the 27 Foot Inniskilling

Pvt William McSparrin of the same regiment and

PVt Dennis McSpiritt of 78 foot Highland.

thanks in anticipation. your offer is very much appreciated

Hi,
If you have time, please could you look in the casualty rolls for India for:
Martin CHESTER
John CHESTER
Jesse CHESTER
they were born in Newport Pagnell and Martin CHESTER
is sometimes listed as Richard CHESTER.

There is a John and a Martin CHESTER in the 84th regiment
of foot on the online Indian Mutiny medal roll - these may be the right people - but I'ld be interested if there were any
other by the same names.
Many thanks,
T
