Lookup offer for crimea casualty list and indian mutiny

[Magian]

I am trying to trace a relative who was a sergent in the 92nd regiment guards. His name was James Logan who hailed from East Lothian. I know that he died prior to his son marrying in 1868.

Regards

Margaret

Hi Margaret,

This is a bit odd.

He appears to be listed in the medal roll.

But i can't find the 92nd foot in the casualty rolls at all?

Hi Kev
Could you please look up a Robert Davies born in 1811 who describes himself in the 1861 census as a Chelsea Pensioner out-posted.  I therefore assume he has fought in the Crimean war?  Your help would be very much appreciated

Thanks

Hi Sylvia, there is a Robert George Townsley in the Indian Mutiny medal roll.

Private in the 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabineers).

Hi Jum, welcome to rootschat.

He may have been a little too old for the crimea, do you know where he was born?

May be listed on here.

Thanks Kev, I had seen that one but I'm not sure if it's the same person?
I don't have a middle name for my Robert Townsend/Townsley (he changed his name periodically)
Is the 6th Dragoon Guards a Scottish regiment?
Is there any way I can find out more about this Robert George do you think?

Think they were.

I think it is worth a seperate post to see if anyone knows the best way to go, there are a lot more knowledgeable people than me on here.
