Hi Kev

I noticed this post & wondered if you would be able to lookup Edward Bayley?  He was killed in the Crimean War on the night of the 7th June 1855.  He had volunteered to lead an attack upon the Quarries at Sevastopol.  He was a Captain/Major with the 88th Connought Rangers.

This is all it says Jayson:

Bayley    Edward    Brevet Major   
88th Foot (Connaught Rangers)   
Mortal Wound    The Assault on the Quarries    7 June 1855    Died of Wounds, 08 June 1855

no more than you have by the look of it.

Hi Kev

Thank you so very much for this.  How interesting the details that I have about him (taken from two memorial tablets) say that he died on the 7th so your message has given me some extra info, and that he really died on the 8th.

Many thank  ;)

Hi Kev

Please could you do a lookup for me in the casualties of the Crimea and Indian Mutiny?

I can't find a JOHN MCLAREN of 71st Regiment of Foot

who we think died 1856-1861 possibly in Crimea, Malta or India as we can't find death in UK.

There's no Service Docs at Kew for him only his name in Muster Book of Regiment but there's 2 of them with same name who seem to come and go at will.

Have found his friends in the 71st Regiment -  THOMAS FARMER on the Indian Mutiny Medal list who later  married John's widow in 1861.  Found only Thomas's brother HUGH FARMER's service docs who was in the Crimea but not India.

Hope you can find him for us.

Thanks
