Hi

I wonder if you can help?

A relative of mine was allegedly wounded-more possibly killed in the crimea. Sadly, I have no exact date.
His name was John Dodds and what I do know from an artists drawing of him- he was in the Artillery.

Wnder if you would be so kind as to see if he on your lists- thanks

Hi
I was hoping you might be able to find information for me on
 
George Bamford               (some times mis-transcribed as Bumford) 
service no: 4789
he was in the No:8 Company 2nd battalion P.C.O. Rifle Brigade and was in Subathu, India in March 1862.
I do know that he was wounded but continued on after a stay in hospital.
Any information would be appreciated
Thank you

Hi Kev

A very long shot, I'm afraid. There is a story in our family that my GG grandfather, John Gordon (born Edinburgh 1812) was in the "Highlanders". If true, this could have been the 92nd Regiment of Foot who served in both the Crimean and Indian Mutiny campaigns. I realise he won't be on your lists if he wasn't a casualty but I'm clutching at straws here!

Thanks

Hi Kev

My 3x great grand uncle George Dowse, born about 1836 Coventry, was in the KRRC at Meerut during the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857. He wound up by the 1871 census in Millbank Prison in London shown as soldier/prisoner. From the 1881 and 1891 census he was a soldier/inmate at Grove Hall Lunatic Asylum in Bow. He may have died about 1901 in Bow. Is there any mention of a George Dowse (variants - Dows, Douce, etc.) in the casualty lists or medal rolls for the Indian Mutiny?

Thanks

Paul

This is a long shot but would you have any mention of  Sergeant William Jones, 34th Regiment of foot please?  I know he was in India, not sure when he made up to sergeant tho.  I don't have a number for him ( I have just started a post to try and find out info on him)

many thanks

edit. Just looked on Wikipedia and it says that the 34th were in both the crimea and at the sepoy rebellion so could you please look for him in both, many thanks  :-*

Hi kev,

Are you still doing lookups... I see you have your work cut out for you with so many requests but,  If so, I would appreciate a lookup for George Thorne, private, 13th foot regiment (Somerset Light Infantry).

I understand that the 13th were briefly involved in the Crimean war, and the Indian Mutiny.

Thank you in advance.  :)

Hi Kev, I greatly appreciate your kind offer re lookups for the Indian Uprising, and when you find the time would love to know more about:

Thomas Noel and his wife, Elizabeth Leach (dob ~1825 - children born at Jullundur & Meerut). AASSC&T + 60th Regiments.

John Noel ~1790 and his unknown wife.

Any other Noels' as they are probably related.

Thanks again, with kind regards,
