Lookup offer for crimea casualty list and indian mutiny

[Stewart R]

Could you please look up to see if the following names appear on the lists:

James Wolfendale, possibly with the Duke of Cornwalls Light infantry

&

John Thomas Perry Wolfendale, Royal Navy (Although he may have died as a result of injuries back at the Royal Naval Hospital)

I think they are both long shots but I would appreciate if you could have a look

Regards

Stewart

Hello Kev - I'm hoping you might be able to help me please.  I'm trying to find out about my great great great grandad, Henry Cook, who was a Private in the 6th Dragoons. He had a son born in 1861 in Amhednuggur (in the Maharastra state) and a daughter in Mhow in 1864 so I know he was in India between then.

I think he may have been in the mutiny as I've found a refernece to the same name, rank in the 1857-59 mutiny medal rolls but I'm not sure if it's him as I don't know whether he was in the
Inniskillin or Carabinier 6th dragoons.

Anyway would you be able to check if there is a Henry cook , private, of the 6th Dragoons in your list?

Many thanks

Hi I hope you can help me find more detail on Zachariah who had a long army record, serving in Crimean and we believe worked as a ward orderly with Florence Nightingale. Any info you could pass on would help put flesh on the bones for Zachariah's family

Many thank

Charles PYNE, b. 1825
Frederick PYNE, b. 1826
Horace PYNE, b. 1829

many thanks, Justin

Hi, Family legend suggests that a relative of mine was in the charge of the light brigade. I have found casualty names for that period but not those that survived. Family names are May ( could be Thomas) and Goodwin (also probably Thomas). It is possible that another relative with another surname was involved. I do know that the family is probably from the St Alkn=munds distric of Derby at the time. Any help gratefully recieved

Hi Kev,

Could you let me know if you can see a George Walters/Walter (1836 - 1882) and a Charles Songer (1838 - 1898) both listed for the Indian Mutiny.  I think George Walters was in the 1/23rd (whatever that is)! 

Many thanks!

Cheers, PP

Hi Kev

If you're still offering to do lookups, could you possibly check whether a MONSELL was a casualty in the Crimea?  There is a memorial window in St Jude's Church Englefield Green (original east window, installed when the church was erected in 1859), with an inscription "To a most beloved son" and also "A devout soldier", which local legend says was in memory of the son of John Monsell, the clergyman who was responsible for the building, but doubts have been cast on the story. If it wasn't a MONSELL then I suppose it is likely to have been the son of another rich man connected with the church, but a check on MONSELL to start with would be much appreciated. 

Thanks
Geoff
