Lookup offer for crimea casualty list and indian mutiny

[helenna]

Hi Kev,

Wonder if you would look up my grandfather Henry Grahame MOntagu who served in the 7th Fusiliers in the Crimean and then in the Indian Mutiny. He was 17 when he joined app.1856??. Am looking for his service no. as unable to trace his family or other details prior to this date.

Many thanks
Helenna

Had a look and Thudders is there. Nigel there is a thomas lloyd 84th foot. Gabba there are two Gabriels listed.
Lazarus there are some Wyatts.


Hi Helenna, sorry cant find him in any list.

hi Kev

Many thanks for looking. Henry is so elusive, we do have his commemoration medals for these wars, but no other record.

Thanks

Helenna

Thanks Kev
Now I need to ascertain if any of the Wyatts (from Glossop) are amongst those listed.
JohnWyatt b1826 and Charles Wyatt b1833 would seem to be of military age.I have nothing to suggest they did serve.

HI Kev,
Thanks to the link you posted on thursday I found some relatives on Kevin Asplins Mutiny medal site,  just wondering if you have any listings for them in the casualty rolls,
Growney, Bernard Corporal 84th York and Lancaster
Growney, John  Private 34th Cumberland
Growney Peter          ditto
Growney William        ditto
Thanks again for providing the link,  I just entered the name into the search engine on the offchance and was so surprised to find four of them there  ,  I had no idea that they were in the army at that time!!!

Hi Runey,none of them are in the casualty roll, looks like they all made it back in one piece.

Wow Kev, that was fast,
Thanks for that, could they have served in the Crimea as well?  (my history pre Boer war is rubbish so that may well be a silly question)

They certainly could have, they weren't casualties though.Checked it.

84th foot weren't in the Crimea by the look of it, but the 34th were.

Thanks Kev,
A whole new area of research for me, will have to check out those links and bone up on the Indian Mutiny and the Crimea now.  Thats the best thing about this family history, you never know where a link will lead you and what you can find, its like an amazing treasure hunt 

Thanks again,
